Recently, Janne received a “Research Innovation Award” from the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies for “Transforming knowledge about diversity through research and engagement.”  You can find more information here about Janne’s award and why she received it.  Below are some pictures from the ceremony honoring Janne and the other Award recipients.

Congratulations on your Award, Janne!  We appreciate all the hard work you have done and continue to do for Native American language revitalization and policy advocacy.

(By the way, you might be wondering who that young man is with Janne’s award.  That is her son, Colin, in the photos.  Janne was out of the country at the time of the Award Ceremony, so Colin kindly stepped in to accept Janne’s award.  Thank you, Colin!)
