The American Indian Graduate Magazine Fall 2015 Edition AIGC is Seeking Advertisers and Stories for the Magazine!

Overall, American Indians and Alaska Natives have made great strides in pursuing higher education.  However, there's a growing  gap between between American Indian women and men, entering and completing higher education.  It almost appears there's a crisis.  The fall 2015  American Indian Graduate magazine will focus on what is at the root of fewer American Indian men pursuing higher education and the solutions.  AIGC is currently seeking articles 1,000 to 1,500 words (due June 15, 2015).  If you would like to share information or have any questions, please contact linda@aigcs.org.
