Tohono O’odham Community College (TOCC) stands as more than just an institution of higher learning for students. It’s vital for Native students across the state of Arizona.
Leaders, students, and advocates warn that the impact would be devastating—not just to education, but to tribal sovereignty, cultural survival, and community development in Native nations.
TOCC alum and University of Arizona law student Winona Little Owl-Ignacio, who is Lakhota and Tohono O’odham, says the community college gave her more than a degree—it gave her a foundation of higher education rooted in culture, values, and identity.
Jasmine Lopez, a TOCC alum and University of Arizona management information systems student, who is Tohono O’odham, says without TOCC, she would not have known exactly what college has to offer.
