Foghorn, American Indian Graduate Program, U.C. Berkeley Honoree Carmen A. Foghorn serves as coordinator of the American Indian Graduate Program at U.C. Berkeley. Foghorn's office is part of the Graduate Opportunity Program and serves Native Americans from many tribes who are enrolled in such diverse curricula as comparative literature, engineering and ethnic studies. Foghorn devotes a majority of her time supporting, encouraging and connecting Native American students throughout their graduate school experience at Berkeley. Her office offers a wide range of personal and professional assistance. Many of her students have never been away from the reservation and need help making the transition; others seek assistance with housing, financial aid or finding other Indians on campus. Whenever possible, Foghorn goes above and beyond the call of duty to assist Native American students. back to main American Indian Local Heroes page American Indian 2004 Local Heroes Lisa Carrier and Quirina Luna-Costillas Mutsun Language Foundation Carmen A.
