Also, the students expressed strong interest to further improve theirproblem-solving skills through similar future sessions.

In response to this, SittingBull College (SBC) has embarked on a program, hereafter called IFYEP (Integrated First YearExperience Project), to incorporate a focus on soft-skills development into a cohort-focused firstyear experience. The IFYEP model can serve to enhance the cultivation of soft-skills without theneed for significant curricular change. Furthermore, this program model is capable of fostering aculturally appropriate learning community that helps bridge the gap between mainstreamacademic settings and the students’ collective culture of origin (see [8], [9] for background).

The growingnumber of minorities in the United States population presents both challenges and opportunitiesto institutions of higher education across the federation. Minorities (Blacks, Hispanics, Americanand Indians/Alaskan Natives) are projected to constitute 52% of the college-age (18-24 years)population of the United States by year 2050; up from 34% in 1999.
