Hi! I’m Lily Athena Namakamakalapua Bell, a native Hawaiian and second-year Ecological Engineering student at OSU.

My passion for environmental causes began in 5th grade after witnessing coral bleaching in the islands and learning about oyster overfishing in the states. Since then, I’ve pursued environmental education and advocacy, including a Capstone project where I developed and taught climate change lessons to elementary students.

Recently, I joined an OSU research team studying the effects of dam removals on the Klamath River. We investigated dissolved oxygen levels and plant/algae growth, conducting fieldwork and lab analysis to assess river health. This experience deepened my understanding of resilience in ecosystems and the importance of restoration efforts.

This research experience has been invaluable to my overall learning at OSU, and has allowed me to work and interact with a diverse group of people dedicated to the health of our Earth. It has also shown me that our Earth is resilient and even though human activities impact the ecosystem and the ability of life to flourish in the Klamath River, the river is still rebounding and surviving in a way our research team did not predict.

Hafa adai! Guahu si Zach. Familian Kariso yu'. Ginen Sinajaña i familia-ku, lao mafañagu yu' ya dumångkolo yu' giya Sanlagu.

I am the new Student Coordinator at Portland's PCW chapter.

My goal as student coordinator is to help increase engagement with Pacific Islander students in the diaspora. I hope to strengthen our coalition as indigenous peoples, and increase awareness on the issues affecting our communities (including but not limited to climate justice).

I hope to meet many new faces from the community!
Si yu'os ma'åse.
