Audrey Alstrom from the small Yukon River village of Alakanuk came to the KuC prior to the inception of our TCUP. She began her study of Mathematics and Science at the Kuskokwim Campus. She was encouraged, instructed and tutored by our TCUP staff and faculty and under the mentorship of Dr. Bob Brown completed her AA degree with a strong emphasis in mathematics and the core sciences. As valedictorian of her class at KuC her perserverence and persistence won her that admiration of staff, faculty and students. Audrey then matriculated to the KuC - UA Anchorage Alaska ‘Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) where she has excelled in her career interships and Engineering academics. Audrey is recognized as one of the top woman ANSEP students across the Nationwide Indigenous Alliance and has a great future in the field of Cicil Engineering ahead of her.

Learning to Learn Camp or L2L is a four to five day orientation camp the week before classes begin each semester. During the orientation, participants preferably between ages 18-23 receive intensive academic advising and are introduced to the community and the Kuskokwim Campus staff and faculty. The participants also learn important college skills, sit through different lectures given by the community, and also numerous outdoor/indoor activities. The Emerging Scholars Program (ESP) is designed to prepare full-time freshmen students for successful completion of certificates and A.A., A.A.S, & B.A. degrees at the Kuskokwim Campus and to help students succeed academically and socially at the college level.
