The Dennis Demmert award provides an opportunity for studens to nominate a person whom they feel has positively affected their academic efforts at UAF.  2011 marks the 17th year the RSS students and staff will recognize individuals at UAF whose efforts demonstrate UAF's goals of being the educational center for Alaska Natives.  During the 1994 Native Summit at UAF, Dennis Demmert recommended that something be done to recognize individuals whose actions have proved their support.  The name was changed from RSS Appreciation and Recognition Award to the Dennis Demmert Appreciation and Recognition Award in honor of the many years of service that Dennis has given for the betterment of the Alaska Native community.
