About the Cama-i Room: All events are in the Cama-i Room, located in the Gorsuch Commons, and open to the community unless otherwise noted. 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.
