our Little River Institute. The successful candidate will work full-time in person at the MSUN campus in Havre, Montana. The
position is professional and on a 10-month annual contract following the grant calendar.
The LRI/NASNTI program provides
grants and other assistance to non-tribal, Native American-serving institutions, to enable institutional improvement and to expand the
capacity to serve American Indian students. The funds from this grant will be used to improve American Indian retention and degree
completion through culturally appropriate models and strategies of mentoring, tutoring, teaching, and social engagement.
The Writing
Pathfinder for the Little River Institute (LRI) provides support in the implementation of NASNTI grant objectives, focusing specifically on
the continued development of student leadership roles, the planning and implementation of significant LRI or Sweet Grass Society programming
(orientation, annual pow wow, etc.), as well as providing tutoring support for American Indian students as needed. The Writing Pathfinder
will provide day-to-day support for the Director and the program, serving as a key resource for students seeking assistance with engagement,
mentorship, and academic support. As a representative of the Little River Institute, the Pathfinder will work closely with Little River
Institute project team and university faculty to promote the successful retention and college completion of American Indian students.
In 2015, MSU-N received a $1.9 million grant through the Native American Serving Nontribal Institutions (NASNTI) Program of the U.S.
Department of Education. With that award, MSU-N established the Little River Institute: a student center, located in the Student Union Building and dedicated to the
retention and completion rates of Native American students in higher education. The Little River Institute provides professional tutoring,
mentorship, and cultural programming to MSU-N students while offering professional development opportunities to faculty and staff.
