New Native American College creates a space for students to bloom, shine |
Its name means “to bloom, to be bright, to shine.”
Sacramento State formally opened the new Wileety Native American College in late September with a daylong celebration on campus.
University faculty members, along with Native American dignitaries and tribal and state leaders, called the new college historic. The institution aims to prepare students to become successful leaders through a community and culturally based education.
President Luke Wood announced the creation of the college last year at the state Capitol, naming longtime Ethnic Studies professor Annette Reed as its first dean.
