“…Under the leadership of Larry (Anderson) and Stephanie (Hammitt), and now, Anita (Hanson), this place has thrived and prospered,” exclaimed Minnesota State Chancellor, Scott Olson, “…and it just has nothing but a bright future in its unique mission.”

“I think we have the right person to lead us, you know, in the future with any kinds of challenges, and you know accomplishments that that we’re able to do,” shared Fond du Lac Tribal College Board of Directors Chair, Vern Zacher.

Testimonials

It is awesome here at the FDLTCC Education Program because it is like a family here, if you need help or are struggling with anything, you have quite a few people who will help you out.

My favorite thing about FDLTCC is the people. I’ve met fantastic students, faculty and staff who go above and beyond what I expected.

I chose FDLTCC because of its size and the curriculum. When I first came here in 2019, I was just looking for what I needed to volunteer, perhaps in a crisis shelter. I met with Don Jarvinen, and the rest is history.
