Brief: NIC receives check from tribe

NIC President Joe Dunlap publicly thanked the Coeur d’Alene tribe at the college’s Feb. 27 board of trustee meeting for a donation.

Dunlap said that a few weeks ago the Coeur d’Alene Tribe made financial contributions to NIC and several other educational institutions in the local area.

Board of trustee chairman, Ken Howard, along with members of NIC’s athletic department personnel traveled to Plummer, ID to meet with the tribe and receive $15,000 in contributions to the college.

The tribe donated $10,000 to the NIC Foundation for scholarships and

$5,000 was donated to the athletics department.

On Friday, Mar. 1 the Coeur d’Alene Tribe presented the check to NIC publicly.

Athletic Director Al Williams and Dunlap walked down to the court to receive the check at the 2:00 p.m. game of National Junior College Athletics Association Region 18 Basketball Tournament hosted by the college where the NIC men’s basketball team played Snow College.
