President Patrick Gamble addressed the UAS faculty
and staff at the Fall 2012 Convocation on the Auke Lake campus, August 22,
2012. President Gamble gave an
update on the UA Strategic Direction Initiative, including the findings of Phase
1 and transition to Phase 2. The
foundation of SDI is the UA core mission of teaching, learning, research and
excellence. Gamble said it is
student based and “all about student outcomes.” Gamble said five themes emerged from outreach meetings held around
the state over the past year: Improve Student Achievement, Enhance K-12
Partnerships, Increase Industry Partnerships, Expand Research and Development,
Improve Accountability to Alaskans. When asked how these themes fit into
cultural support and survival, Gamble said initiatives are underway to
better engage rural Alaska Native
high school and college students in math and science through i.e. subsistence
based curriculum.
