This is our first Lioness Project that will be offered this Spring 2022 at the Tsaile Main Campus. Due to the pandemic, the program is carefully designed to promote the safety, health and wellness of participants, as well as instructors teaching the face-to-face class. CDC-guidelines will be in place for the program and participants will continue to abide by the College’s safety guidelines throughout the course delivery.

Participants who register for the class will be emailed prior to the First Day of Class to conduct program orientation and Meet & Greet with Instructors on March 2, 2022 at 6pm-9pm at the Tsaile Campus Security Training Facility.
