“Losing this program is a real setback for students like me,” said Shania Tamagyongfal, a Yapese student who earned her undergraduate degree in anthropology and master’s in heritage management at University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo.
Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation helped connect Tamagyongfal’s cultural identity to her scientific research.
“It gave me the confidence to lead, collaborate and pursue work that matters to my community,” she said.
So this young lady from Yap already has an undergraduate and a master's. Now she is in a STEM program.
Couldn't get a job with her original chosen path or is she going to be a professional student ??
Do you think this is the best use of a grant for a STEM program ?
