#AISSLobo
The American Indian Student Services’ #AISSLobo highlights students from across the UNM community on the AISS social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
William Pacheco (Kewa Pueblo) is this week’s #AISSLobo! William is seeking a Master of Arts in Linguistics and, ultimately, a Ph.D. He spent a few years as a Kewa Keres language teacher at Santa Fe Indian School before returning to UNM to complete an undergraduate degree. William was able to earn an M.Ed. in Learning Design, Innovation & Technology from Harvard and completed the MIT Indigenous Languages Initiative program where he earned an M.S. in Linguistics! He decided to return to UNM to be close to home to help with linguistics work within his community. In his future career, William plans to continue working with endangered languages in collaboration with their respective communities. He has already accomplished so much and has so much more to offer! His family and future generations of Indigenous people who will continue to speak their languages are what motivates William to continue pushing forward. We’re exciting to see what comes next for William, let’s give him a round of applause!
