Mowana recently received some additional good news when she was selected for the Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI) Undergraduate Summer Internship by the American Philosophical Society. This was a very competitive national search and Mowana was selected as one of three interns for this prestigious opportunity. For those of you who may not know, the American Philosophical Society is the oldest learned society in the United States and was founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin for the purpose of “promoting useful knowledge.”
Please join me in congratulating Mowana and wishing her the best for her internship at APS!
