Partner Statement

United Tribes Technical College is excited to complete another year of reporting and proud to be on the path forward to completing all the wellness guidelines. This year’s guidelines included the addition of sustainable infrastructure that builds an environment that supports a safe and healthy campus. The guideline to provide signage for cars to stop for pedestrians helped provide accountability for our campus and safety department to do a full safety assessment of all our roads on campus. This assessment helped identify problem areas on campus that we were able to address by providing permanent signage. The second sustainable project we are really proud of is the installation of our eight-station outdoor workout equipment. This helps promote the usage of our beautiful walking trail that goes around the campus.
