Student Union
Stay Connected during COVID-19
All in person events on the UAA campus may be cancelled due to statewide and local measures to contain the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) but that doesn't stop you from staying engaged with virtual events!
Since 1978 the Student Union (SU) at the University of Alaska Anchorage has served
as a student-centered organization that works to expand the college experience through
offering enriched student programs, services, employment, and involvement opportunities.
