Hailey Lambert ’25 is one of two Princeton University students named 2024 Udall Scholars. The award recognizes students for their commitment to careers in the environment, Tribal public policy, or Native health care, as well as leadership potential, record of public service, and academic achievement.
Lambert, a psychology major, is pursuing a minor in the Humanities Council’s Program in Linguistics as well as a certificate in cognitive science. She is an enrolled citizen of the Choctaw Nation and a registered first-generation descendant of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
This summer, she will work for a non-profit organization that focuses on assisting people with disabilities.
The Morris K. Udall Foundation was established by the U.S. Congress in 1992 as an independent executive branch agency to honor Morris K. Udall’s lasting impact on this Nation’s environment, public lands, and natural resources, and his support of the rights and self-governance of Native Americans and Alaska Natives. The 2024 Udall Scholars were selected from among 406 candidates at 192 colleges and universities.
