The Honors College

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT  

We  acknowledge the Alaska Native nations upon whose unceded traditional lands we are located. Our offices and facilities are located on Troth Yeddha, a sacred site of the Lower Tanana Dene people. We acknowledge and honor the ancestral & present land stewardship and place-based knowledge of the peoples of these territories.  


 

 In Nanook Nation, Honors is a verb.

The Honors College is about creating opportunities for your community as much as yourself. We strive to find science-based solutions, informed by indigenous knowledge and powered by 21st-century tools. We believe in doing the research and living your learning. We help you identify internships, research projects, and more that best fit your interests and goals. We work to connect you with community engagement opportunities and international experiences that will enrich your education, and broaden your horizons.
