The American Indian Graduate Magazine Fall 2015 Edition
AIGC is Seeking Advertisers and Stories for the Magazine!
|
The American Indian Graduate Magazine is seeking advertisers and stories for the next issue.
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 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 on current programs, your educational story or have any questions, please contact linda@aigcs.org.
