As a member of the Round Valley Indian Tribes, Temerity was determined to channel her UO education into service for her community. In just two years, she’s become a codirector of the Native American Student Union, presented on a study with the UO Institute of Neuroscience, reestablished the UO American Indian Science and Engineering Society, and researched forced sterilization of Native American women. Her interests in addressing tribal health issues earned her the prestigious Udall Undergraduate Scholarship. Up next? Research at Harvard Medical School and shadowing doctors through the Four Directions Summer Research Program.
