Sophia Alvarez, Danny Garcia and Michelle Sangrey attended the 11th annual American Indian Business Leadership conference earlier this month. They won the award in a business plan competition against 35 other schools. They created a digital photography business.

Alvarez and Sangrey are members of the Chippewa Cree Tribe who grew up on the Rocky Boys Reservation in Montana. Garcia is a member of the Jicarilla Apache Nation from New Mexico.
