In collaboration with CU Boulder's STEM Routes Mentorship Program, CNAIS is completing听the first year of a pilot mentorship program for Native American graduate students in STEM fields. This program seeks to increase Native opportunity and presence in all STEM areas.听After inspecting some of the barriers inherent to the academic professional space that affect Native & Indigenous students, we requested funding to develop a program that centers student experiences and identities. We have designed our program with an approach to mentorship that minimizes inadvertent harm and empowers students through building community.听This was funded via a grant from the College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Innovation Fund.
