On Dec. 11, our Facilities and Campus Services team was made aware of a pothole that shut down the westbound lanes of Northern Lights Boulevard between UAA Drive and Career Center Drive. It has since been upgraded to a sinkhole, and the lanes will remain closed for an undetermined amount of time while crews repair the damage. We anticipate the closure will extend through the week.
Finals week is a very stressful time for students. Students, please know that your professors have been made aware of the situation. Please communicate with them any delays you may experience due to this issue. We know this is an unexpected traffic challenge. Please take a deep breath. We want you to have a smooth and safe finals week.
Summer Engineering Academies
The UAA Summer Engineering Academies are a series of week-long, hands-on instructional sessions for students entering grades 3 through 12 in Anchorage, Mat-Su, and Kenai. Each academy is designed to encourage interest and provide exposure to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The academies also seek to support historically underserved and underrepresented students who have limited opportunities for these experiences.
The academies are divided into 1-week sessions for elementary, middle, and high school students (grades 3-12). Each week explores a different topic. Topics include robotics, computer programming, structures, and other engineering fundamentals.
Academy Fee
Each week-long academy session has a fee of $150 per participant. This fee includes instruction, lunch, and materials. Fee waivers are available for students with financial need.
