Career Awareness and Leadership Institute
Last week, 53 students from Crittenden County were on campus for a pilot program titled, Career Awareness and Leadership Institute. The students, age 14-20, spent two days in career exploration and goal setting, and two days in leadership activities.
  On Thursday, the students participated in team building activities with the "Ropes Course," thanks to the assistance of the ROTC at the Armory. Counseling Services and Tribal Leadership developed and coordinated the various workshops, labs and activities for the week. For more, see the news release on the NewsPage.
