CROWNPOINT, N.M. (AP) — Navajo Technical University in Crownpoint has been awarded nearly $450,000 in federal funds to expand opportunities for education on the vast reservation.
The grant for distance learning in telemedicine comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development.
The department's state director in New Mexico, Terry Brunner, and university President Elmer Guy will be part of a celebration Thursday for the upcoming distance learning center.
The center will use telecommunications technology to offer courses to people in remote areas.
