A Message from University President Lionel Bordeaux

As President of Sinte Gleska University, I am proud to share with you a brief summary of our progress and goals as we enter our fifth decade of service to the Sicangu Lakota Oyate dating back to 1970. A number of our current faculty and staff, including myself, were employees during those earliest years of institutional operations and remember the challenges, primarily in terms of facilities and funding, that consistently confronted us as we transitioned from Rosebud College Center to Sinte Gleska Community College to Sinte Gleska College and finally to Sinte Gleska University. As always, at the center of our evolution was the vision of our ancestors and founding body accompanied by the mandate to design and offer appropriate programs and opportunities on behalf of tribal members and tribal communities on the Rosebud Reservation. read more.
