Outstanding Student of the Year
Every year the College of Liberal Arts asks each department to select their outstanding student(s) for that year- students who possess the passion and creativity for new discoveries and scholarship, students who demonstrate independence of thought and action in the pursuit of knowledge, and students who exemplify excellence.
The Department of Science and Environmental Journalism has chosen the following as students who embodies these qualities and so much more. Thank you for all your hard work and contributions to your department. You make a difference at UAF.
Congratulations to our 2025 Outstanding Student of the Year!

"When I struggled during my time pursuing my degree, I could always rely on the help of my professors. I really want to thank them, because any time I had a problem, I could just go up to them and they would help me to find a solution. Not only my professors, also my academic and athletic advisors. I don't think it would have been possible without them."
Always Outstanding
