Cama-i Room program highlights for April 11-15, 2011

All events take place in the Cama-i Room, located in the Gorsuch Commons, unless otherwise noted. These events are free and open to the public.

In conjunction with the Department of Residence Life, the Alaska Native & Rural Outreach Program (ANROP) is proud to present upcoming program highlights. The Cama-i Room is a social gathering place and study center for all UAA students. Cama-i Room programs and activities celebrate Alaska Native, Native American and Alaska cultures. Cama-i (pronounced Cha-my) is a Yupik and Alutiiq word for "welcome" and "hello," and encompasses the spirit in which this room was created.
