UAF student wins scholarship to attend national conference

Karsten Sierra wanted to go to the national conference of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society this year, but the costs presented a challenge. After encouragement from a couple of sources, the sophomore majoring in mechanical engineering and a student employee in UAF’s Geophysical Institute Communications unit decided to apply for travel scholarships.


Please consider giving to United Way

So far in the 2022 UAF United Way Campaign, we are just shy of six percent toward our goal of $40,000. I’m writing to share why I am committed to giving to the United Way every year, how I got involved, and how little you can give that makes a huge difference! Please consider giving a small, recurring payroll deduction to United Way of the Tanana Valley.
