## Caption

“I became a Native American outreach and community engagement coordinator because college access for students in southeastern Utah is such a hopeful and inspiring thing. My position is housed in Undergraduate Studies and we want to raise the retention & persistence rates of Native American students that apply to the U, get accepted & attend. I not only help students apply to college but help connect them with the resources they need to continue with their degrees. 

Based on my own experiences, I know how important it is for young kids to be exposed to higher education, so I also want to create more opportunities for K-12 students to be exposed to the idea of going to college and what that looks like.” #HumansOfTheU
