Palmer Scholar Khyree Named Forbes Under 30 Scholar


In October 2019, Scholar Khyree flew to Detroit for the Forbes Under 30 Scholars Summit. Khyree was selected as an Under 30 Scholar from the University of Washington, where he studies Human-Centered Design and Engineering.


"5 years ago, if you were to tell me I would be nominated and named one of Forbes 30 Under 30 Scholars, I’d look at you with utter disbelief. Yet, here we are and I am extremely honored and proud to be able to share my experience with you all!" Khyree said.


The Forbes Under 30 Summit brings together young leaders to share in learning, discussions, and community building. Past speakers have included Serena Williams, Former President Barrack Obama, Sir Richard Branson, and more.

Khyree especially enjoyed fostering connections with other amazing and intelligent people. "This whole event inspired me to share my experience so I am not the only one from Tacoma to be a Forbes 30 Under 30 Scholar."

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
