About Clara

Hometown: Kodiak, AK

Major: Communications

Hi there! My name is Clara Underwood. I was born and now live in Fairbanks, but have lived in Dillingham (Curyung) and Kodiak, Alaska. My parents are both biologists and taught me much about Alaskan nature and wildlife. I decided to come to UAF to study Wildlife and Conservation as a Biology major, but ended up dropping out of school after my freshman year. I knew I wanted to come back to school at some point, but I wasn’t sure if my previous major was right for my goals. And after a bit of time, real life experience, and vision for my future, I am now back at UAF as a Communications Major. As a Communications major, I am really interested in human connection and contact. I am pretty excited about anything to do with community, organization and social interaction.

As a student at UAF, community is incredibly important. Because UAF has many diffrent types of people and is rich with student resources, it is easy to find and make friends. This campus provides a unique experience with unique people. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you around!
