How to Start an AISES Professional Chapter
and Keep It Growing

 

A vital facet of the AISES network is its growing number of AISES Professional Chapters. These affiliate organizations offer support and opportunities to members nationwide as they navigate their career paths. The chapters’ ongoing activities and contributions at the local level are the grass-roots foundation of the AISES mission. From serving as role models to helping their communities and organizing professional development events, AISES Professional Chapter members are leading advocates for the advancement of Native students and professionals.

Dr. Joseph Connolly, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), is a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River — out of the Six Nations comprising the Haudenosaunee, he is from the Onondaga Nation and of the Wolf Clan. Currently working as an aerospace engineer in the Intelligent Control and Autonomy Branch at the NASA Glenn Research Center, Dr. Connolly serves as a technical lead for propulsion controls under the Advanced Air Transport Technology (AATT) project. He develops technologies in electrified aircraft propulsion under this project with a goal of reducing emissions and improving performance for commercial turbofan engines. Dr. Connolly is a Sequoyah Fellow and chair of the Professional Chapter Council. He earned his BS in aerospace engineering and BA in sociology from Ohio State University, his MS in control systems from Case Western Reserve University, then returned to Ohio State University for his PhD in aerospace engineering.

 

How does an AISES Professional Chapter benefit its members and community?

AISES Professional Chapters provide benefits by directly linking their work to the overall AISES mission. To substantially increase the number of Indigenous people in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), we need to ensure that those in STEM fields have a long and impactful career.
