Cora Lyon
Originally from Washington, Cora had her sights set on UAA as her top choice because of the opportunities to conduct undergraduate research. She hit the ground running her freshman year, when she was awarded an Office of Undergraduate Research Grant and went on to receive an Alaska Space Grant to conduct research.

UAA career and technical education programs are closely aligned with Alaska’s core industries, such as aviation, oil and gas. Many courses are designed with flexibility to accommodate students who work or have a family, and the campus houses a range of student success and support centers.
