Celeste Clark
Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina
Celeste Clark has lived in Milwaukee, WI most of her life. She is an alumna from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). Celeste also works as a Student Support and Tribal Liaison in the American Indian Student Center (AISC) formerly known as the American Indian Student Services (AISS) at UWM. Celeste values education and believes in the importance of giving back to the American Indian community. Her goal is for American Indians to succeed in life and college can be used as a tool to achieve that higher success by investing in themselves. Celeste, also, feels fortunate to be involved with the Milwaukee Indian Education Committee. She has had the opportunity to be exposed to various events that happen throughout the Milwaukee community and throughout the state involving different types of education. On a more personal note, Celeste enjoys being with family and friends, participating in American Indian events, volunteering for specific events, and researching more of her family genealogy. She is, considered, the family historian.
