Chancellor's Leadership Academy
Applications Due Today!
Attention UAF Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors!
The LIVE program will soon begin accepting applications for the 2013-2014 Chancellor’s Leadership Academy, a yearlong cohort leadership development program.
Through participation in this program, students will learn more about The Leadership Challenge and the Five Practeces For Exemplary Leadership. As a group, we will also discuss communication, collaboration, appreciating diversity, clarifying values, social responsibility, controversy with civility and much, much more!
Throughout the program, participants will complete a number of activities, including monthly leadership development seminars and community service projects. Participants will also select a local non-profit agency to work with for the year. This will give students the opportunity to address an underlying social issue on an individual level. Upon completion of the program, UAF students will be better equipped to lead groups and others and create positive change in their communities on a local, national and global scale.
Applications are due by Sept. 30th at 5 pm.

Name: Ashleigh Strange
What year did you graduate?
May of 2013
What is your degree?
Broadcast Journalism
What is your job title now?
A couple of months after graduation, I moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to work in an Amazon.com Fulfillment Warehouse.
What were you involved in at UAF?
While at UAF, I was a resident assistant for Residence Life, a member of the Nanook Traditions Board, I had a radio show with KSUA, wrote the Student Government column for the UAF Sun Star, and even spent a year as UAF's mascot, the Nanook!
What is your favorite memory from being involved at UAF?
My favorite memory from being involved at UAF has to be the 3 years in a row I organized the Thrill the World Flash Mob dance on campus with the Student Activities office. Overall, I taught approximately 350 Fairbanksans and UAF students to dance to Michale Jackson's "Thriller."
How has involvement at UAF helped you in your post grad adventures?
Getting involved at UAF is no different than getting involved in the "Real World" after graduation. There are lots of opportunities to help make the world a better place. Recently, I took a bus to NYC with the 9/11 Day "I Will" volunteer memorial project to help refurbish a firehouse in Bayside,Queens. Volunteering in Mexico with Alternative Spring Break has really opened doors to where and when I can volunteer in the future. No place is too far and every volunteer opportunity is an adventure!
