#AISSLobo
The American Indian Student Services’ #AISSLobo highlights students from across the UNM community on the AISS social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat.
The #AISSLobo for this week is Eleseo Swentzell (Santa Clara Pueblo) from Santa Clara Pueblo, NM! Eleseo is a sophomore and a Pre-Pharmacy major who is involved across campus with the Kiva Club and AISS Ambassador Program. He recently changed his major from Film & Digital Arts to focus on a future career where he can help others as a pharmacist. Last year, as a film student, he was able to work with a group to make a short film where Eleseo got to write the screenplay, direct, and act! Within his pueblo community he stays active within their culture and does his best to take time away from university life to participate in dances, work, and doings back home. He emphasizes the support available for Native students through AISS and encourages all students to make use of the resources & support available across UNM. Being involved on campus, especially with the Native community, keeps him motivated to continue his education by creating a home away from home and feeling connected to the university. He shared these encouraging words with the Lobo community: “Keep doing what you can.” We’re grateful to have met Eleseo and appreciative for the support he provides to the Native campus community. Let’s give a HUGE round of applause to this outstanding Lobo
