Achieving the Dream Conference Spotlights Tribal Colleges and Universities

When Dr. David Yarlott went to college in the late 1980s, he was the only Native American student. Feeling homesick, he withdrew and went home after about a month. Eventually, he found himself at Little Big Horn College in Crow Agency, Montana, which only enrolled 13 students at the time. Now, the tribal college serves nearly 300 students, and he’s been the school’s president since 2002.
