On January 25th, 2011 five UB students were awarded Wolf-Fire scholarships. They each received $500 for their work within Native American communities. These students will also be fellows with the Native American Center for Wellness Research. Several support systems are in place that can help these fellows be successful during their scholarly work. You can learn more about each of the fellow’s research projects here.

It was a very special night with about 75 or so people in attendance. Dr. Lloyd Elm spoke about Native American educational issues and challenged us to support and work for diversity, not only in characteristics, also in thought. It is important, according to Dr. Elm, that universities value and ensure a variety of people and opinions during educational experiences.

It was an honor to be a part of this celebration. These student fellows are very good people who deserve this award and all of our support. If you happen to run into one of them, please offer up a big congratulation!
