2026 Cohort
Lili was born and raised in Washington, DC, but now lives in Fairbanks while pursuing a BA in Climate and Arctic Sustainability. Lili's grandmother is Nenets and this has led to Lili's dream of pursuing a degree that can be used to give back to Lili's family and culture. UAF has provided Lili with the opportunity and resources to do just that—something Lili is very grateful for.
Some of Lili's hobbies include beading, hiking, and traveling! Lili is also involved in several on-campus organizations, including the Honors College and the Festival of Native Art (FNA).
