Danielle LaPointe

(2018- PRESENT) 

NICC staff and faculty are known for being supportive, caring and invested with their students’ personal welfare as much as their academic success. The faculty and peers at the South Sioux City location supported me tremendously when I attended school. I wanted to reciprocate the support I received by contributing my time, energy and knowledge for this position.  With my fellow board members, the president of the college, the academic dean, and the numerous staff and faculty and students make NICC what it is. Our belief to utilize one another as a group is the reason our development of NICC continues to flourish.  I am proud I continued my education, it has taught me to problem solve, to think beyond the crises, and taught me how to support others. I also serve as the Director of the Tribal Social Services for the Santee Sioux Nation.
