Most students are returning to school after spending some time in jobs or raising families. They have children, and the lucky ones have jobs. The college is a one-story sandstone building, about the size of a small supermarket. There are three classrooms, one computer lab, a modest library with an incredible Navajo collection, and a small office wing. It is light and bright, with most of the modern necessities of higher education.
Classes meet at all hours on all days, with most convening for one afternoon or evening a week.
It is a gathering place for the young in the community. They come to meet their friends, play games on the computers, and surf the 'net. The teachers are all part-time, with the exception of the Chair of the Curriculum Committee. A few are skilled native artisans who teach weaving, story-telling, Navajo philosophy, and language. They all care deeply about their mission and give far more than they receive.
