[...] "While the College Fund's efforts have been focused on supporting American Indian students and tribal colleges and universities, we took significant measures to also focus on the safety and well-being of our staff. Team members were provided tools and resources to work remotely, travel was paused, and additional supports for mental well-being have been implemented." |
