I cannot speak highly enough
about AISES. The organization
and leadership have a stellar
reputation with Native peoples and
communities for their commitment
to their mission, members and the
quality of their programs. Founded
over 40 years ago, AISES has
positively impacted the lives of tens
of thousands of Native students,
educators and professionals.
Attending their annual conference
with nearly 4,000 attendees—
mostly students—is an exciting
and uplifting experience for me. I
can only imagine the impact on a student interested in STEM to be surrounded by so many like-minded contemporaries. JSF is proud to partner with AISES.
