Mary Lou Mitchell

As the Director of the Omaha Higher Education Office, I have the unique opportunity to help college students with funding for post-secondary education.  I live in the Omaha Indian Reservation and have raised my family here.  I am blessed with many children and grandchildren.  Completing my degree at NICC, continuous employment at the Tribe for 43 years, and serving NICC as a BOD member are my greatest accomplishments.  It is important to me to be a part of the children’s future education so that they can have a better future.   Financial aid and scholarships are so important for the college students and I am a part of that support daily. 

BOD Training/Professional Development since last HLC visit: Fiduciary Trust/Financial Literacy Training during NICC BOD Retreats in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020
