College honored for student success

Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College is honored to share that Achieving the Dream has awarded FDLTCC the 2024 Leah Meyer Austin Award. The Leah Meyer Austin Award signifies a college’s adoption of practices and strategies leading to a student-focused culture, notable increases in student outcomes, and reduction of equity gaps. The announcement was made at the annual DREAM conference, which brought over 2,000 community college leaders, faculty, and student affairs staff to the Orlando World Center Marriott.

FDLTCC joined ATD in 2017 among a cohort of tribal colleges that entered the network through Project Success, a U.S. Education Department and Ascendium Education Group-funded initiative to support tribal colleges and universities in student persistence, retention, and financial management. As a result of the intense commitment to student success demonstrated by its leadership, faculty, and staff, FDLTCC earned Leader College status from ATD in 2021.
