We recently talked with alumna Tia Ruh, class of 2014. Read an excerpt below, and the full interview here. 

How do you feel your time at TCGIS helped prepare you to get to where you are today?
"Growing up with German and within the TCGIS environment is an experience unparalleled in value for students who truly seek to become bilingual. Even when circumstances forced our family to take a leave from my TCGIS education, the foundational language skills I had learned from kindergarten through fourth grade proved to be retained well enough that I could jump right back into learning even after 3 years with minimal German exposure. There was no German program at my high school, but the positive attitude surrounding language learning fostered by TCGIS drove me to try learning Spanish, which I took for 4 years. It wasn't until my junior year of college that I found myself missing German so much that I changed my major to German Studies- and even with a 6 year hiatus from regular practice, I was able to communicate at a college level and test out of years of language credits, which even helped me graduate early. I attribute that language fluency and passion to my early start at TCGIS, and the way in which I learned German there."

We acknowledge and appreciate that TCGIS is located on Waȟpékhute (wah-PEH-koo-tay) Dakota traditional, ancestral, and contemporary homeland, near Lake Medewaka, in the land now known as Minnesota (Mni Sota Makoce). Read our full TCGIS Indigenous Land Acknowledgement here.
