Meet Tiana Gilliland
2021-2025 Tribal Nations Honors Scholar
Tiana Gilliland is an enrolled member with Shasta Indian Nation and will be the second person to be a Tribal Honors Scholar in the Honors College. Tiana will be entering the Honors College at SOU as a freshman in the fall of 2021. Her tribe is located in northwestern California and southwestern Oregon and she wants to learn more about the culture of other Native Americans and share her own knowledge that she has to offer. She graduated locally from Grants Pass High School in Grants Pass, Oregon and wants to be involved with SOU as much as she can.
Tiana plans to major in Healthcare Administration with a minor in Health Promotion and Military Science. At Southern Oregon University, she plans to be a part of the women’s wrestling program and the Reserves Officer Training Corps for the National Guard to be a future Medical Service Corps Officer. Outside of school, she loves to bake, exercise, and do community service. After her bachelor’s degree she hopes to get a master’s degree in Healthcare Administration and eventually work in a hospital where she can manage staff and help the community.
