Community Engaged Research Fellows

Amana Mbise and Sarah Buckingham

2020 CE Faculty Fellows Drs. Mbise & Buckingham featured in Green & Gold for their work with Welcoming Anchorage

The Community Engaged Faculty Research Fellows program was created in 2019 to support community-engaged research efforts at UAA, with the goal of supporting faculty through an exchange of ideas and knowledge about partnership development, community engaged research methodologies, and research dissemination.

This program connects faculty from across campuses and disciplines and encourages peer to peer support through brown bag presentations, design clinics, individual research consultation, and writing support.
