We gathered for the 28th Centennial Accord meeting at the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community center. So proud to be there with current faculty, students, and alumni.

Many thanks to the Honorable Vice-Chairman Melvinjohn Ashue for his courage and dedication to sovereignty, community, and family. Great picture of you speaking and all of us listening, especially the Governor!

Many thanks and much respect to Senator John McCoy for his tireless leadership, teachings, and vision in sponsoring legislation to lift us all up together.  

Many thanks to MPA alumni for being an inspiration (Crystal Florez, Tony Brave, Mara Machulsky, Loni Greninger, Peggen Frank, Kris Peters). Special thanks to Tony as co-faculty!

MPA Alumni in attendance, but not pictured were: Celine Cloquet, Jan Ward Olmstead, Steve Gill, Sheri Sawyer, Rebecca Lewis.
