NYOKA BERTRAND - A
first year recipient, and a resident of Swanton, Vermont.
She is a senior student at Missisquoi Valley Union High
School, as well as the Northwestern Technical Center. She
has participated in the UVM/Abenaki Summer Happening
Program, and also have been involved in the UVM/Abenaki
Outreach Program for the last four years. She participates
in community service and holds a part-time job. She says she
will be attending the University of Vermont where she will
study social work. She says that as a social worker, she
could help to prepare astronauts for their long journey into
space. Her knowledge within the social work field could help
her to help in the development of the full potential of
individuals working in space. She believes that she could
improve the lives of many people who could be affected by an
astronaut leaving for space. She could help prepare the
astronauts emotionally for their journey, which would be
very helpful to them. Her plans are to attend UVM to major
in Human Services.

ASHLEY SULLIVAN - A
first year recipient, and a resident of Swanton, Vermont.
She is a senior student at Missisquoi Valley Union High
School. She participates in multiple athletic programs, Skit
Night - a local thespian production. She has been on the
honor roll and three years participation in the National
Honor Society. She holds a part-time job. As a studio art
major, she plans on intensively studying not only fine arts,
but digital arts as well. She says when she graduates from
the University of Vermont, she plans on teaching art in
Vermont. Art allows for further understanding and
demonstration, and supplies a method to effectively display
important images and information. NASA itself utilizes art.
Its website, for instance, has interactive features, and its
anniversary logo, which incorporates images of a spiral
galaxy and the Hubble Space Telescope. She says technology
could not function without art. Art, in turn, cannot
function with technology. Her plans are to attend UVM to
major in Studio Art and Art Education.
