After more than seven years as Executive Director of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC), Gerald E. Gipp (Hunkpapa Lakota) will retire from AIHEC on June 1, 2008. Gipp made the announcement at the AIHEC Board of Director’s meeting on October 24, 2007.
“I consider it a privilege to have served the Tribal Colleges and Universities and the AIHEC Board of Directors over the past seven years,” said Gipp. “However, after 46 years of public service, I feel that it is time for me to give greater focus to my family and other outside interests. I believe my time has arrived to step aside; it is time for new leadership to take on the ongoing challenge of moving the tribal college movement forward at the national level.” read more
