UAS expands its reach, drawing students from more states

The University of Alaska Southeast has more than doubled the number of states nonresident students are coming from.

“This year, we are welcoming students from nearly 30 different states,” UAS Chancellor Aparna Palmer said during an interview on KTOO’s Juneau Afternoon on Thursday. “Last year, 11 states. This year, 29 states.”

Palmer credits those numbers to the school’s new tuition policy and targeted recruitment. UAS dropped out-of-state tuition and began offering in-state tuition rates to all students starting this fall semester.

Did you know for the first time in UA history, Alaska Native language names will lead a university course listing?

On a summer day, nine students paddled a 28-foot cedar dugout canoe through the waters off the coast of Juneau. It was the final day of Dámaan agán hl ḵíng, Take Good Care of Yourselves, a new dual enrollment course in Indigenous health and healing offered through the University of Alaska Southeast.

Last year, UAS and the Goldbelt Heritage Foundation signed a memorandum of agreement to bring a traditional canoe-carving project to the UAS campus. As that work unfolded, Goldbelt's executive director Neilg̱áa Koogéi and UAS Dean of Arts and Sciences Carin Silkaitis discussed future partnerships. Goldbelt had just received a grant centered on Indigenous wellness and health care pathways. UAS Assistant Professor of Behavioral Health Sciences Sarah Niecko was developing a plan to engage youth in health care pathways through Indigenous knowledge and healing.
