- Top 50 Workplaces for Indigenous STEM Professionals
- What Motivates Students to Stick with Such a Challenging Major as Computer Science?
- Inspiring STEM Studies for 20 Years Through the Innovative NATURE Program
Welcome to the Spring 2021 issue of Winds of Change — celebrating 35 years of publishing! In this issue you’ll meet a few of the members who make the AISES family so special. Turn to “AISES People” to meet people like Tyler Rust, who describes his academic journey from a high school experience cut short to a late start on college. Our wise elders are generous with their guidance. As Council of Elders emerita member Dr. Henrietta Mann puts it in our new column “Cultivating Indigenous Resilience,” “Remember that you can call on Council of Elders members for reminders on carrying your history and knowledge into tomorrow. You are not alone.” You’ll also find our feature on the Top 50 Workplaces for Indigenous STEM Professionals. These “diversity winners” have maintained their investment in DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) throughout the pandemic, and we are confident that they will meet post-pandemic challenges. Take a look at the Top 50 and read a firsthand account about what the workplace culture is like at some of them. Another article takes a close look at what makes Native computer science students persevere in a challenging field where they are markedly underrepresented. Read about this interesting research project, Native Women.
