Empowering dialogue with @NNPrezNez to increase access to higher education for #Navajo students and the MOA signing between @uarizona College of Law and the #NavajoNation. Let us continue the fight for #equity in higher education.
Joshua Billy, a sophomore majoring in pre-nursing, encourages @uarizona leadership to “not only create services that meet the needs of people but also ensure that you’re receiving and integrating input from the people who the services are for.” Check out his speech at @AZRegents
Congratulations to my mentor, Dr. Ken Dion, on being selected as President-Elect of @SigmaNursing!He is a tremendous #innovator and advocate for #nursing#leadership. Our profession is lucky to call him one of our own.
As scholars, warriors, and intellectuals we will use our knowledge and words to make everlasting change for the current #healthdisparities facing our people. We are strong, we are resilient. @shalkahnjohn@Rene_Begay
Ahéhee’ @AIHREA for the incredible education in grantsmanship this past week with #NRAP. I’m grateful for the experience of standing together as #NativeAmbassadors in resiliency after encountering an ugly racist statement made during a meeting. Read more in comments.
Like @Rene_Begay said, as uncomfortable as #racism is, it’s important to discuss experiences like this openly. Only when we look ugliness in the eye, can we challenge it to transform into understanding. I’m grateful for this community of warriors who will change the nation.
Sharing stories of grant success at the Native Research Ambassador Program. Awesome Program for Native Researchers. Awesome mentors here to support our learning. Ahee’hee 😊🙏🏽@timiangodfrey
The health of our veterans deserve our full attention and dedication. Just as they have fought for us, may we continue to fight for them. #healthequity#veteransday2019
November 11 is Veterans Day. Today, Americans honor those who served our Nation in uniform. They are our mothers and fathers, our brothers and sisters, our children, and our neighbors. Remembering their service helps repay the debt we owe them #VeteransDay2019#HonoringVets
The Native American blessing at the new Health Science Innovation Building on @uarizona campus was a great way to start #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth. May we move forward this month with respect for our ancestors and hope for the future. Ahéhee 💛 @shalkahnjohn@UAZNursing
We were blessed to hear from Dr. @TamarRodney, @JonasImpact alumna, on her groundbreaking work with biomarkers for traumatic brain injury and PTSD among our #veteran population. She epitomizes what it means to be a #JonasScholar.
