In this episode, we talk to Olivia (Sparks) Iverson, the Native American and Indigenous Recruitment Coordinator for the Sapsik'ʷałá Teacher Education Program at the University of Oregon. Olivia shares what the program is all about, who it's for, how it differs from other teacher education programs, and how it’s funded through a Department of Education grant. She also explains the service payback expectations for scholars, reflects on her own experience as a graduate of the program, and shares her favorite UO memory.
