U.S. SENATE - U.S. Senators Jon Tester and Steve Daines led a bipartisan group of colleagues Monday in designating the week beginning Feb. 28 as âNational Tribal Colleges and Universities Weekâ to highlight the importance of higher education in Indian Country. âAs a former educator, I know how critical it is that every Montanan has the opportunity to unlock their potential through a quality education,â Sen. Tester said in a press release. âTribal Colleges and Universities give students the tools they need to succeed, especially as theyâve had to find new ways to keep their doors open and serve their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Iâm proud to join teachers, students and families across Big Sky Country in celebrating National Tribal Colleges and Universities Week as we acknowledge the great work they do for Montana every day.â
