Summary:Paul Lee Lansing, Jr., a Diné student who participated in this summer's program, said, "I became much more computer literate -- now I'm doing statistical analysis and using databases." Another benefit of this program was more personal for student Stevie Rose Tohdacheeny Lee when she returned home to Shiprock, NM, for her six-week placement: "My grandmother is diabetic, and there's been an improvement since I've been here with my family teaching them what I've learned." She laughed, adding, "I've been giving my grandmother personal advice -- usually it's the other way around." Lansing said he practiced what he learned the first three weeks about eating healthy, working out, and testing glucose levels. He has lost 34 pounds.
