Jarom Harlan

Jarom Harlan serves as the Director of Nation Building & Public Relations at Nebraska Indian Community College. He is an enrolled member of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska and Iowa and has spent much of his career working with Tribal communities through Tribal government, federal service, higher education, and community development.

Before coming to NICC, Jarom worked for the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and previously served the Omaha Tribe in several different roles. His experience has included land management and development, finance, grants, economic development, and Tribal operations.

Jarom earned his Bachelor of Science in Management and is also a proud graduate of Nebraska Indian Community College. Throughout his career, he has enjoyed bringing people together, building partnerships, and finding new opportunities that can benefit Tribal Nations and their communities.

“Working here at NICC has given me the opportunity to come back and serve the community where I was born and raised. Growing up here and now having the opportunity to help tell the stories of our students, alumni, and the College means a lot to me. For me, this work is about creating opportunities for our students today while also doing my part to help strengthen our Tribal Nations for future generations.”
