Working together with Sitting Bull College and the Standing Rock Reservation, CoreCollaborative International is part of a team that is building STEM pathways for native American students. In this public/private partnership, Sitting Bull College (SBC), a tribal college with locations in both North and South Dakota, was rewarded a sizeable grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Minority Institutional Research Opportunity program, or MIRO. NASA-MIRO’s mission is to develop the research capacity and infrastructure of Minority Serving Institutions, promoting STEM literacy and enhancing the capability of these institutions to foster NASA-related education and research.
