In response to this urgent need, UAA will launch the state’s first Master of Science in School Psychology program in fall 2025. Program director Harvey has garnered substantial financial backing, including a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education. Read more.

Structuring support
December 09, 2024 / #Featured , #I am UAA
If there is anything civil engineering and project management alumnus Mohamed Niagne is passionate about, it is support structures — in engineering, and especially in relationships. As the graduate student commencement speaker for the fall Class of 2024, Niagne hopes to convey the importance of those support structures, which led him from the Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program at UAA to his current position at the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities.
