How to Prepare for the AISES National Conference

The AISES National Conference is just around the corner! From October 6–8, 2022, you’ll have the opportunity to join Indigenous STEM professionals and students from all across the United States and Canada. The three days are jam-packed with plenty of opportunities to network and learn about work being done by fellow students. With so much going on, it might seem overwhelming, so here are a few ways to help you prepare for the conference.

 

Plan Ahead

We know, there’s so much going on these days that it seems like you don’t have a spare second. But it will be worth your while to take some time to plan how you’d like to spend your time at the conference before you arrive. Are there specific speakers you’d like to hear? Are there networking opportunities that you want to be sure to attend? Is there anything happening in the host city of Palm Springs for which you’d like to budget time? Considering all of these things ahead of time will help reduce your anxiety and make for an organized and worthwhile conference experience.

The Master of Tribal Resource and Environmental Stewardship (MTRES) curriculum examines the economics of tribal resource management, sustainability, and tribal sovereignty. In this program designed for tribes, by tribes, you’ll explore the interrelationship of biological, physical, and cultural ecosystems through the lens of traditional tribal ecological knowledge.

What is your list of must-dos during the AISES National Conference?

The AISES National Conference can be a little overwhelming. There is a lot going on and it’s impossible to do everything. The first thing you should do is review the agenda and make note of the sessions that are of most interest to you or that best relate to your field. Prioritize the sessions that will provide the most information pertaining to your future aspirations. Actively participate in the sessions and bring a notepad to take notes. The notepad will also to be useful to write down names and contact information of the people you meet — fellow students, professors, potential employers, or internship opportunities.
