Merging Missions
Literature on the evolution of the American higher education system includes a historical and consistent debate over the definition of the higher education mission in the country. Recent debate focuses on mission differentiation between the university and the community college. Acknowledging systemic changes in higher education historically occurred within regions of the country and even individual states, Alaska higher education development serves as an interesting and relatively unstudied example and the focus of this study. This research addressed this debate in higher education--mission definition--through a historical analysis of the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) over the 25-year...
Becoming UAA 1954-2014
BECOMING UAA captures the unique story of a patchwork institution and provides a rich glimpse into how much has occurred in the university's first 60 years-1954-2014. To commemorate this anniversary, W. A. Jacobs, professor emeritus of history and political science presents an insightful overview of the institution's formative years from community college to a full-fledged public master's university in Alaska's largest city. Historical photographs and clippings and editorial cartoons from student newspapers illustrate a text written by one who lived through much of this relatively young institution's development.

Alaska Native Political Leadership and Higher Education

This book is valuable for educational policymakers, and instructors in education, anthropology and Native American studies.
Converting STEM into STEAM Programs

The chapters in this book offer thought-provoking examples, theory, and suggestions about the advantages, methods and challenges involved in making STEM to STEAM conversions, at levels ranging from K12 through graduate university programs. A large driving force for STEM-to-STEAM conversions is the emerging awareness that the scientific workforce finds itself less than ideally prepared when engaging with so-called ‘wicked problems’ – the complex s...
