مستخلص: | The partnership between Tohono O'odham Community College (TOCC) and the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC) at the University of Arizona (UA) has relied on principles that have produced a long-term relationship and full participation among the partners. Active listening, travelling to the community, longevity, understanding ways of life within the partner's community, the intent to serve the community, and agreeing not to publish without the tribe's permission are critical to the success of the partnership (London, Haapanen, Backus, Mack, Lindsey, & Andrade, 2020). Relying on these principles and shared leadership, the partners created the program "A Student's Journey (ASJ)" to reduce barriers in transitioning from a community college to a four-year university and to create career pathways for Native American students. Both partnering organizations seek to address the problem of low bachelor's degree attainment among tribal students (NCES, 2017; PNPI, 2018). Additional shared concerns include barriers to Native student persistence and resilience, two concepts at the forefront of low bachelor's degree attainment. Organized through an environmental health and social justice lens, ASJ allows students to investigate environmental impacts on human health and serves as a vehicle for social justice discussions while establishing a foundation for Native nation-building. More specifically, ASJ operates in an asset-based model that recognizes cultural knowledge and Native ways of knowing as a strength of the ASJ participants rather than as a deficit. ASJ utilizes this asset-based model to promote a successful transfer pathway to four-year colleges and universities for TOCC students. |
