- Top 50 Workplaces for Indigenous STEM Professionals
- Engineering Medicine
- AISES People
- A 200-Year First
Welcome to the Spring 2023 issue of Winds of Change! An interesting aspect of AISES is seeing highly sophisticated STEM and traditional culture comfortably coexisting and reinforcing each other. You can see that synchronism reflected in this issue when you read about Indigenous students creating cutting-edge medical devices in “Engineering Medicine.” Then in “Last Word" you’ll be inspired by the story of a 200-year first — a handcrafted, traditional Ojibwe canoe launched in Lake Michigan. This issue also has our annual look at the “Top 50 Workplaces for Indigenous STEM Professionals," as well as news of members, chapters, and the organization in “AISES Notebook." Students, especially, can find information on opportunities in “Paths in Education" and “Career Builder." As always, in “AISES People" you’ll find inspiring profiles of individual members, such as revered elder Dr. George Blue Spruce, the first Native American dentist, who has spent a long and distinguished career advancing dental health in Indian Country. And then there are young people, like Jordyn Cates, who inspire us with their enthusiasm. She says her first experience at an AISES in Canada National Gathering was “so mind-blowing” that she came away determined that “all Indigenous students need to see this — to have access to these resources.”
