Show your support for AISES students by sponsoring Dr. Lydia Jennings on March 20, 2021. An avid runner, Dr. Jennings is lacing up her running shoes and dedicating a one-day, 50-mile run to benefit the AISES Together Towards Tomorrow (T3) emergency scholarship fund.
Dr. Jennings, who has been a part of AISES since 2014, joined the 2015 cohort of emerging PhD candidates as a “Lighting the Pathway to Faculty Careers for Natives in STEM” program scholar. In fall 2020, she completed her doctorate at the University of Arizona, defending a dissertation titled “Reclaiming Mining in Southern Arizona: Considering Science and Policy Aspects that Build Resiliency.” “I brainstormed this fundraiser because running catalyzed my dissertation and I wanted to celebrate my graduation despite the barriers COVID-19 caused,” says Dr. Jennings. “The pandemic got me to thinking about the thousands of Native American students who were also affected by the pandemic. As a student who supported herself through undergrad as a waitress, I can only imagine how challenging it can be for so many students right now. AISES was so important in my own educational journey – I see the community and support from the organization as key to my personal success. AISES can do the same for others.”
