Aiden Earnest is graduating from UAF with Honors and a BA in Political Science and minor in Justice. He presented his Honors Thesis with Emily Cohen on "The relationship between sexual assault rates in Alaska (and beyond) and the legal definition of consent".

Besides UAF honors, he completed the Ted Stevens Legislative Internship Program in Juneau and was a finalist for the nationally distinguished Truman Scholarship. The 190 2020 Truman Scholarship finalists were selected from the 773 applicants from across the nation for this graduate school scholarship. Way to go Aiden, that is quite a lot of achievement to be proud of!
