Research/learn more about the Native American Tribal benefits and how LCC build off of the resources available to this diverse population.
Begin asking all-campus for help on recruiting events that have scheduling conflicts on days when Melissa and Kylie are already scheduled to visit other places. (ie: P/T conferences, athletic events, special fairs)
