Business Administration with Morgan

Transcript

Meet Morgan, a recent graduate from ANC with an Associate’s degree in Business Administration. She fully embraced the learning opportunities both in and outside of the classroom here. She participated in every club available at ANC, showcasing her commitment to both personal and professional growth. Morgan, you are on. Please take it away.

– Alex. Everyone. When teachers ask you that question, what do you wanna be when you grow up? I knew I wanted to do something business related. I took a six year hiatus from school after graduating high school and decided to move home to further my education. Growing and learning in an environment that integrates our culture into the curriculum is such a great feeling. We learn to speak our Aaniiih and Nakoda languages and talk amongst each other throughout the campus. Aaniiih Nakoda College has internships that put students in positions that will help them utilize their degree. Our college also participates in AIHEC, which stands for American Indian Higher Education Consortium. This is where tribal colleges from around the US gather to participate in cultural activities such as hand games, archery and knowledge bowl. Another amazing opportunity I had while attending Aaniiih Nakoda College was the chance to travel to Namibia, Africa, with fellow classmates. We spent a month doing grass line research and met so many amazing new people. This campus also offers so many resources to help you succeed in your educational journey. They offer tutoring in classes that students may be struggling in, student support services and free counseling for those who may need it. My experience here has inspired me to continue my education to earn my bachelor’s degree. I’ve now graduated from Aaniiih Nakoda College and am enrolled in a four-year institution, but I love this college so much that I wasn’t ready to leave. So now I work here at Aaniiih Nakoda College full-time as a financial aid assistant. I decided to stay and utilize the skills and help other students just like the staff has helped me. Back to you, Alex.

– Wow, Morgan, it sounds like your experience at ANC, not only inspired you to continue your educational journey at a four-year institution, but also equipped you with valuable knowledge and leadership skills. These qualities will undoubtedly help you achieve success wherever your path leads. Thanks again, Morgan.
