Boozhoo Welcome Tomorrow's graduates will not be carrying bows and arrows, but books and degrees. These new warriors will be intellectually gifted, visionary, well educated men and women who will contribute to society in ways some of us have not even imagined yet. Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College has played and will continue to play a significant role in the development of our future leaders by providing outstanding teaching, strong student support services, academic resources, and a wide variety of opportunities to live and grow. Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College is a very unique institution. We are the only institution in the country that is recognized as both a tribal college as well as a community college. This dual recognition is a unique experiment that has worked extremely well since our founding in 1987. Because we are a land grant school designed to serve the constituents of our service region, we are now expanding into a four-year degree granting institution. Expanding into a four-year degree institution will allow us to better serve our community, state, and nation culturally, professionally, and economically. On behalf of our faculty, staff, students, and Board of Directors, thank you for visiting the Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College website to learn more about our great college. We truly have a union of cultures on this campus where we teach, learn, and live together. Welcome! Donald R.
