Anna Lukeman named a 2025 3M National Student Fellow
Math education major Anna Lukeman was recently chosen as a 2025 3M National Student Fellow. Anna is one of 10 students across Canada receiving this recognition.
From the announcement:
Anna Lukeman is a math education major in her third year of study at Acadia University. She is committed to breaking down barriers to accessibility that affect so many university students. Her work as a teaching assistant in the first-year chemistry labs throughout her degree motivated her to advocate for the varying needs of the students in the lab. This led to her involvement in a research project that examined the experiences of students registered with Accessible Learning Services who were in the first-year chemistry lab. As a result of this work, many changes have been implemented in the labs this year to remove barriers cited by students. Anna is also the director of the Dancepiration club at Acadia, which provides free-of-charge dance lessons for members of the community with disabilities. Through her leadership, the program has grown considerably and now runs twice a week, also involving many Acadia volunteers. Anna will continue to address barriers to accessibility to work towards creating an environment where everyone is able to thrive.
