NHS College Awarded Grant Funding to Create a Center of Engineering Excellence
New Town, ND -- Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College has been awarded a five-year, $3 million grant from the TCU Enterprise Advancement (TEA) Centers to establish the Full-Circle Center of Engineering Excellence. The center will expand workforce training opportunities for NHS pre-engineering students and improve engineering services available to the MHA Nation.
“NHS educates pre-engineering students and helps them transfer to four-year universities,” said President Twyla Baker, Ph.D. “Because of the Center of Excellence, the likelihood of these students getting bachelor’s degrees and returning to the reservation is much greater.
“This will be a win-win,” Baker said. “Trained engineers can come back to the reservation for good jobs, and the MHA Nation will gain engineers who understand our culture and our unique needs”.
Pre-engineering students who participate in the Center of Excellence program will benefit from service-based learning opportunities, such as community engineering projects, job shadowing and internships. They will work with the Tribal Business Council, the Chairman’s Office of Science, Technology and Research; and the tribe’s senior engineer. Students and Centers of Excellence faculty will team up to complete community projects.
NHSC enhances the quality of life and builds a strong, positive identity for the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nations or Three Affiliated Tribes. NHSC offers in-demand certificate programs and associate degrees as well as three bachelor’s degrees. The college offers high-quality cultural, academic and vocational education. NHSC provides encouragement and support to facilitate successful college careers.

Janecek-Hartman College Scholar Named ROI Institute Award Winner
NEW TOWN, N.D. --Jennifer Janecek-Hartman, Ph.D., vice president of Campus Services, Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College, recently received a Most Innovative Approach to ROI award from the ROI Institute.
Janecek-Hartman was recognized for an outstanding application of the ROI Methodology® and honored for exceptional work in measurement, evaluation and analytics. Developed by the ROI Institute, the methodology assists professionals in improving programs and processes using return on investment (ROI) in non-traditional applications.
Dr. Janecek-Hartman created an ROI evaluation model for tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) serving native communities. Her Indigenous assessment is based on local, traditional and tribal values that comprise the lens through which decisions are made at TCUs. Non-monetary ways of measuring ROI include institutional changes resulting from programming, institutional successes and the number of graduates and pre-and-post-graduation earnings.
Partners in Janecek-Hartman’s work include five North Dakota Association of Tribal Colleges presidents: Cynthia Lindquist, Ph.D. (Cankdeska Cikana Community College), Twyla Baker, Ph.D. (Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College), Laurel Vermillion, Ph.D. (Sitting Bull College), Kelli M.
