¡Bienvenidos!

¡Hola todos! Mi nombre es Kate y soy una representante de la Universidad de Alaska Anchorage. En este tipo de trabajo, puedo visitar escuelas secundarias para hablar con estudiantes, maestros, y padres sobre el proceso de solicitud a la Universidad y la vida universitaria. También hablo sobre los tipos de programas que ofrece UAA. Todavía estoy construyendo un horario de visita con las escuelas para este semestre. Si está interesado, busque en el calendario para chequear mi horario, aquí está el sitio de nuestra página web: www.uaa.alaska.edu/futurestudents/recruitment_clndr.cfm.

Si no vive en Alaska, pero está explorando las oportunidades de UAA, este otoño estoy viajando a varias ciudades del país. Representaré la Universidad durante las ferias universitarias nacionales en los estados de Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Indiana, e Idaho. La información específica (como localidades, fechas, horas) está en el sitio arriba. También, en las ciudades de Milwaukee, WI y Philadelphia, PA representaré la Universidad durante una feria nacional hispana. Hay más información sobre estos eventos en el sitio de web (arriba) y también en la página de la feria – www.collegefair.info.

Fue un verano increíble – tuvimos temperaturas bien calientes (entre los 80 y 90 grados) e hizo so casi todos los dias (y sí, durante la noche también). Toda la gente quería estar afuera para explorar todas las aventuras que ofrece Alaska en el verano. Aunque quiero que el verano no termine tan pronto, me gusta mucho las visitas en las escuelas secundarias, las ferias nacionales, y lo más importante – hablar con estudiantes, maestros, y padres sobre todo que ofrece esta Universidad.
Hasta la próxima,
Kate.

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.

The real live college student introduction...

Hey, my name is Lindsay and I have been attending UAA since the fall after graduating from a local high school in 2006. My first fall semester at the college I came in as an undeclared student, but by the time spring arrived I declared Nursing. I have not lived in the dorms, but would highly recommend it to any incoming freshman, or even to any one who is thinking about wanting to stay there. My favorite food on campus is in the Lucy Cuddy Center. There I like getting French fries with the secret sauce. I think by now they may have an actual name for it, but I still call it the secret sauce. Mmm, I want some right now just thinking about it. The best study area on campus is the very top floor of the library. They have plugs in for the laptop, big comfy chairs and awesome lighting/views from the windows. Alright, so that is just a small bit about me for now.

Upcoming Excitement:

Coming up this Saturday is Campus Kick Off. I have not been since I started my freshman year, but I am very excited to go this Saturday. I am most excited about going to the Butt Sketches!! Campus Kick Off also offers free BBQ to UAA students, a club and vendor fair, comedian, and other various activities. P.S. this is a great way to meet some fellow students.

Ready for Campus Kick-Off?

Campus Kick-Off will be here before you know it! It's a great place to meet new poeple, grab some grub, and find out all the cool thing that make UAA FUN!

It's on Saturday August 22nd at 5 p.m. in the Cuddy Quad on our main campus.

Come by and say HI to the admission table!

See Ya There!
