U of M Morris psychology major Andie Jones has been creating art her entire life. “I’m interested in how art helps me relate to other people and how I can encourage them to relate to me,” she says. 

“I work at my mom’s daycare on the Leech Lake Reservation during summers. We use arts and crafts to get the kids to express themselves or talk about things that are difficult for them and things they’re happy about.” 

After graduating this spring, the Fond du Lac American Indian Scholarship recipient plans to earn a master’s degree in social work.
