“Aloha! My name is Logan Lau. I'm a 2023 Paubox Kahikina Scholarship recipient and I currently attend Stanford University where I am now a rising senior majoring in management science and engineering and minoring in data science. Overall, I've really enjoyed this school year: It's been phenomenally successful, I've gotten to further explore my interests at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and financial economics. I've also been able to hold a leadership board position on Stanford's chapter of AISES or the American Indian Science and Engineering Society while getting to support fellow indigenous students pursuing various STEM fields. Currently I am in New York City interning for Blackstone.
Finally I just wanted to thank Hoala Greevy again and the entire team at Paubox for really investing in my success and making college more accessible to native students like me.”
