Welcome Back!

Hi there! I’m Kate, an Outreach Specialist on the Recruitment Team here at UAA. As part of my job, I visit high schools all over the Alaska to talk to students, counselors, and parents about the process of going to college and the kinds of certificate and degree programs we offer at UAA. Now that school is back in session, I’m scheduling these visits. If you’re interested to find out when I’ll be at your school or to find out about upcoming events the Recruitment Team is hosting, check out our Outreach Activities page at www.uaa.alaska.edu/futurestudents/recruitment_clndr.cfm.

For those of you who live out of state and are interested in UAA, I may be coming to a city near you too! I’m representing UAA at various college fairs in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Idaho. The specific locations, dates, and times of these fairs can also be found on the Outreach Activities page. I will also attend two National Hispanic College fairs in Milwaukee, WI and Philadelphia, PA. If you are interested in learning more about these National Hispanic College fairs, check out the website above or go to www.collegefair.info.

While it was a great summer up here in Alaska with warm temperatures…lots of 80 degree days here in Southcentral – even up to 90! We had lots of long sunny days (and sunny nights too) that made everyone want to go outside and take advantage of the amazing weather! So even though our summer is winding down, I’m very excited for this upcoming Fall semester. I’ll keep you updated on my high school visits and out of state travels and hope to meet you soon!
Until next time,
Kate.
