United Tribes Technical College Celebrates 50th Anniversary

KXMB-TV, the CBS affiliate in Bismarck, ND posted "United Tribes Technical College celebrates 50th anniversary," with reporting by Aaron Fields. Fields interviewed college administrators and provides an interesting overview of the institution's history and bright prospects for the future.

United Tribes was initially founded as a training center. It gained accreditation in 1982 from the Higher Learning Commission and now serves as a 1994 Tribal Land-Grant Institution operated by five tribes: Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold, the Spirit Lake Tribe, the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians.
The college web site offers a 50 Year Chronology as part of their Building a Legacy of Success campaign associated with the centennial. The book is edited by Dennis J. Neumann and the 132-page document is available as a .pdf.  It provides "...starting points for learning more about activities, events, accomplishments and people associated with UTTC."
