Education and Outreach

Our research focus on sustainability is particularly relevant to Alaska’s public interests and needs, and our education and outreach initiatives reflect this concern. We build from existing strengths in our programs and partnerships to enrich education at every level, creating a pathway from early childhood to early career.

We focus on engaging women, Alaska Natives and members of other underrepresented groups in order to increase diversity among the next generation of researchers, professionals and leaders. We reach out to stakeholders in many spheres, providing our research to policy makers, industry, communities and the public.
