The Sacramento Native American Higher Education Collaborative (SNAHEC) is a regionally based workgroup made up of Native American faculty, staff, administrators, designated community/agency or organizations, tribes, and students to discuss intersegmental designs of pathways for Native American students and solutions to improve access, retention, success and the overall experience for Native American students in public education. This group has focused attention on improving inter-organizational communication and coordination, creating strategies, improving policy, and developing collaborative programs and events.
