What Our Grads Say
Suzie
 I transferred to UAS with a varied array of university attendance already under my belt. I had previously been enrolled in other schools in Utah, Anchorage, Hawaii, and Mexico. While all were important experiences, none offered the comprehensive, stimulating, and personalized education I found at UAS. The transfer to UAS represented a marked change in my perception toward education and of self application." More...

 I was never a typical college student. After high school I joined the military and once I completed my enlistment I decided to give college a try. With Northern Exposure reruns running through my mind, I was convinced Alaska was the place for me. However, my start was not the one of happy sitcoms – a lot of my classes did not hold my attention and I dreamed of my classes ending when I could hike out into the steep coastal mountains. This all changed the semester I began to take courses for my biology major – Animal Physiology, Invertebrate Zoology, and Ichthyology, these are the classes I had been waiting to take." More...

 My experience at UAS provided an opportunity to gain a unique educational and research experience through working one-on-one with biology faculty in the classroom, laboratory, and field. My experience at UAS served as a springboard to a graduate degree and a professional career studying the ecology of marine mammals." More...

 I saw very early on that the “classrooms” at UAS extended into the intertidal and beyond, as nearly all biology courses included scheduled trips into the surrounding environment of Southeast Alaska. The doors of opportunity were literally opened up for me at UAS to explore the wilds of biology. The surrounding marine environments, coupled with the faculty’s desire to motivate and challenge me as an undergraduate student, made for a memorable, meaningful, and applicable experience that culminated in my graduation."

 Dynamic classes are the norm for UAS. I had many great professors during the 4 years I spent at UAS, thus, it is impossible to single out an individual. Most of my professors encouraged me and other students to pursue our interests and gain career-orientated experience, which is not hard to do because of the myriad of government agencies present in Juneau. For example, from 1998-2000 I assisted local NMFS biologists on shark-tagging trips in Prince William Sound. This research involved bringing live salmon sharks aboard a vessel to record scientific information and deploy archival satellite tags. It was truly a life-changing experience." More...

 Studying at UAS was like nothing I had experienced before. It was so great to be able to walk right outside the lab to collect marine organisms and learn about the marine environment. This was vastly different from my previous university, where we rarely interacted with the organisms we studied in zoology courses. Instead of just studying the phylogenetic tree in a textbook, I was able to view every lineage first hand through exploring the intertidal and scuba diving to investigate subtidal organisms." More...
