Rachel Davis works at the Native American Center at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point, in Wisconsin. The Native American Center provides one-on-one advising, case management, resource facilitation, and community building for Native American college students. She plans to use her $5,000 grant for professional development for her students, “helping them to foster a growth mindset and faciliate their transformation in higher education.”

Students will attend the 8th Annual Native American Leadership Forum, which hosts the nation’s Native American leaders in Gaming & Commission, Government, Tribal Government, and other industries across Indian Country. Students will connect and network with Native leaders, leading them to feel motivated and inspired to pursue developing their own leadership skills. They will be able to create meaningful connections with each other and other Native leaders.
