"Participatory Action Research"

Undergraduate students interested in improving the campus community for students are invited to enroll in HNRS 209: Participatory Action Research. Students will engage in small inquiry projects investigating student success at UAA. They will use the results of their research to develop action plans with their specific recommendations from a student perspective for supporting the success of all UAA students.

UAA will pay the tuition and book costs for students selected for the course. In return, students will learn the basics of community research, develop their leadership skills and have a great project to include on their resume. Plus, they will be making a difference for all members of the UAA campus.

Students do not have to be in the Honors Program to take this course. The course is open to all undergraduate students who meet the prerequisites. For more information, contact Dr. Diane Erickson at (907) 786-4874 or afdme@uaa.alaska.edu.
