UAF Plans to Construct 34,000-Square-Foot Facility
Native Language Center, the Department of Alaska Native Studies and Rural Development, and the Center for Cross- Cultural Studies, among other programs. The Indigenous Studies Center will allow growth in existing academic and research programs, as well as foster new ones. In addition, the center will make room to expand services that support Indigenous student success, from pre- college programs, like the Rural Alaska Honors Institute, to graduate research opportunities for Indigenous students. “This important project will position UAF as a global leader in Indigenous STEM science and innovation that will benefit our community, state and nation,” said Charlene Stern, UAF’s vice chancellor for rural, community and Native education. “This gift demonstrates Kinross’ commitment to the vision for Alaska Native and Indigenous programs that will help to meet Alaska’s workforce needs now and into the future.”
GENERATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. BUILT RESPONSIBLY.
