Celebrating ten years of investing into the University and community, the Haury Program will curate a series of short videos featuring some of our awardees and their projects. The videos will be released through the year, and added to this page.
The Haury Program is honored to have been able to work with all these visionaries and workers, and is thankful for all the partnerships, including the U of A Foundation and Arizona Institute for Resilience. The videos were shot and produced in cooperation with University of Arizona BioCommunications, and we thank Gilberto Vega for all his work and dedication to help us uplift these impactful voices.
For a complete list of our awards please visit our Awards Database.
“We are excited to create and share these videos with you and hope they uplift you in your individual work. There is nothing more poignant than hearing the voices of those responsible for creating positive change. Inherent in the stories, is that each of us has the power to nurture and cultivate our communities when we come together. The stories also illustrate the expanding and enduring impact of the first ten years of the Haury Program through our visionary awardees. Through these voices, the Haury Program honors the life and values of Mrs. Agnese Nelms Haury and the support of the Haury Program Donor Advised Fund board, through which this work is all made possible.” - Nancy Petersen, Haury Program Assistant Director
Navajo Water
The onset of the COVID 19 pandemic increased and further exposed clean water access issues that Native American communities face every day. The Haury Program is honored to work with Dr. Crystal Tulley Cordova of Navajo Water Department and other partners organized as the Water Access Coordination Group to help alleviate these problems and work towards sustainable equitable solutions.
School Gardens
The University of Arizona’s School Garden Workshop (SGW) connects Tucson educators and community organizations with university students eager to participate in the school garden movement occurring throughout the country. University student interns are matched with underserved school garden placement sites where they support the installation, development and maintenance of a garden program.
A Student's Journey
The 2019 Haury’s Challenge Grant winner, A Student’s Journey Program started as a joint-collaboration between Tohono O’odham Community College (TOCC) and the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC) at the University of Arizona to increase the number of transfer students from TOCC by developing a sense of belonging at 4-year universities and increasing academic and professional capacity building. The program grew, and is now a year-long program with a 5-week on-campus summer experience at the University of Arizona and has expanded to include other Tribal College students as well.
