We strongly encourage you to take advantage of many of the opportunities that will arise during your academic careers at UAA. This page is devoted to our undergraduate student clubs, seminars, job postings, scholarship information, and other events that you'll find of interest. You have a standing invitation to attend all of the undergraduate student clubs, and the faculty in the department invite you to join them at our weekly seminar series. Becoming involved is a great way to grow in your personal and professional life.
We'd love to add your email address to our undergraduate listserv which means you'll receive important updates about changes in our class schedules, research and employment opportunities within our department as well as with state and federal employers, and many other important items. Please feel free to contact the Biology Department (907.786.4770) with your preferred email address, and we'll gladly add it to our listserv.
