Native students make history in prestigious competition

Two Native students, Logan Lee (Native Hawaiian) and Ava Grace Cummings (Lumbee and Coharie), recently made history by placing in the top 10 of the Regeneron Science Talent Search, one of the nation's most prestigious science competitions. Lee’s research on mosquito control earned him fourth place, while Cummings’ study on Native American myopathy secured her second place. This marks the first time two Indigenous students have won prizes in the competition’s 83-year history.
