#AISSLobo
The American Indian Student Services’ #AISSLobo highlights students from across the UNM community on the AISS social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
This week’s #AISSLobo was previously highlighted in 2020 as an undergraduate student and now, Callie Crespin (Comanche Nation & Apache) is in her first year as a medical student at the UNM School of Medicine! Callie is a first-generation college graduate and plans to serve as the physician in New Mexico upon completing medical school. As a first-gen student who wants to stay & practice in New Mexico, she’s grateful for the NM Lottery Scholarship as an undergrad and for the support from the State of New Mexico for medical school tuition for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Her advice to other students is to find mentorship early! It took a village of support and amazing mentors for Callie to get where she is today. Student organizations were key to getting involved on campus & accessing leadership opportunities that shaped her. She stays motivated through the encouragement of her family & fiancé along with keeping in mind that she wants to be the best doctor for her future patients. We’re excited to see this Lobo thriving at UNM and working to make a healthier New Mexico!
