Presenting the fall/winter 2025 edition of Spirit magazine! As UAA's premier publication, these amazing stories capture the great work of alumni and students from your Hometown U.

In this issue of Spirit, we explore how UAA and its alumni are navigating the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI). On campus, new programs in the College of Engineering and the College of Business and Public Policy are preparing students to thrive in this technological era, ensuring Alaska remains at the forefront of innovation.

Among the alumni featured in this issue are those shaping the future of AI in remarkable ways — from an interdisciplinary studies alumna whose contributions helped develop a video game preserving the Dena’ina language and culture, to a computer science alumnus at Amazon who has a front-row seat to AI’s transformation of global industries, and the business analytics and AI alumna coordinating UAA’s cutting-edge Alaska Data Science and AI Lab.

With these stories and more, please enjoy leaning in and learning more about how #SeawolfNation continues to make an impact in Alaska and beyond.
