Working to learn a language both contributes to language revitalization and teaches learners about themselves, thus developing a sense of mental and spiritual well-being associated with learning the learners' ancestral language. In addition, on an institutional level, those who contribute to language revitalization and hold space for the language form connections with people and resources that can contribute to institutional growth. In alignment with its mission and current strategic planning efforts, it is a goal at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College (FDLTCC) to continue expanding its language programming. FDLTCC's Anishinaabe language classes provide a solid foundation of language study for full-time students and community members alike. Hundreds of hours of Ojibwe language stories and songs have been recorded in the studio and in the surrounding community by the studio coordinator, multimedia productions faculty, and students. The college's vision for preserving the language for future generations includes creating a resource database with capacity to store the recordings that have already been produced, along with new contributions to the collections. Just as the founders of the college made connections that allow those living now to have access to a tribal and community college in the area, those today add in their own ties through their efforts to build just a little more onto the vision they started with.
