Priscilla Day |
Priscilla A. Day is a Professor in the Department of Social where she has worked since 1993. She is a Co-Principal Investigator for the American Indian Child Welfare Certificate Program. Currently, her areas of research are American Indian Family Preservation and Cultural Competence. During the summer of 2002 she made site visits to the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota to conduct focus groups and interview tribal members about their very successful family preservation programs. As a member of the National Indian Children's Alliance (NICA), she will be co-writing a research report on this project. NICA is a national group of professors that conduct research on American Indian child welfare issues. In her other area of research, cultural competence, she helped create a new model of diversity training that is used in the Department of Social Work. Priscilla is an Anishinabe and an enrolled member of the Leech Lake reservation. She is the mother of three adult children (one in the Navy, one in Medical School, one "working"). |
