Native Forward Is Our New Name
We believe higher education deepens our transformative impact on every part of society. Knowledge and experience are powerful tools that can advance and preserve our way of life.
I see the disconnect and disparities for Native students and STEM. I want to help bridge that gap between Native communities and science. We have the opportunity to solve a lot of the problems facing Indian Country. It just takes time and the skills.
