Applications are being accepted for the Biomedical Learning and Student Training Spring
2023 Undergraduate Research Experience until Nov. 6, 2022, at midnight. Current undergraduate students from Fort Lewis College, Salish Kootenai College, Diné
College, Alaska Pacific University, Iḷisaġvik College, all UAS and UAF campuses, from
all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds are invited to apply. The BLaST
URE award is up to $2,500 for Spring 2023. Information about requirements and a link
to the online application can be found on the BLaST website.
Nearly half of UAF's student population identify as first-generation, meaning that
neither parent or guardian achieved a bachelor's degree. Using an asset- and strengths-based approach to understanding this student population,
and modifying your curriculum to reduce unnecessary barriers that you may not be aware
of, can create an inclusive space for first-gen students to be successful. Attendees
of this online session Nov. 8 from 1-2 p.m. via Zoom will gain a foundation in what the first-gen identity looks like at UAF, key barriers
that these students encounter, and how to practically aid first-gen students both
inside and outside of the classroom. The training will be presented Ronnie Houchin,
associate director of Student Engagement and ASUAF advisor; and Victoria Smith, director
of Student Support Services (TRIO).
