Yá’át’ééh! (Navajo Greeting)My name is Winifred Bessie Jumbo and I come from a small community called Two Grey Hills, NM, well known for their Navajo rugs and textiles. My mother is Naakaii Dine’é (Wondering People Clan), my father was Ta’neeszahnii (Tangle People Clan), my material grandfather was Hashtł’ishnii (Mud People Clan), and my paternal grandfather was Táchii’nii (Red Running Into Water People Clan). I began my higher education career at Diné College in 2011. I have grown professionally and personally over 11 years within our institution. I value our purpose as Diné College and enjoy working with our communities, more importantly with our Navajo families. I’m passionate about making sure all students succeed in their higher educational journey, specifically our first-generation college students.I serve as the Director of External Campuses of Diné College. I’m excited for the new opportunity and I hope you join me in creating and developing innovative approaches to expanding and stabilizing our campuses, centers, and microsites to serve our students and communities. I appreciate our institution and its investment in growing our own to advance our professions and experiences. My previous roles at Diné College include Dual Credit Program Director, Recruiter, and Executive Assistant to the Office of the President. I am currently a graduate student at Baylor University pursuing a doctorate in Learning and Organizational Change. I’m an alumna of Northern Arizona University (M.Ed. in Educational Leadership) and Brown University (B.A. in Anthropology and Ethnic Studies). Ahéhee’ t’áá ánółtso! (Thank you)
