Alaska PEAK (Purposeful Engagement, Assessing Knowledge) is a framework for the on-campus student employment experience that leverages reflective learning and relationship building between student employees and their supervisors. What began as an initiative out of the Student Affairs Assessment Team to evaluate the student employment experience has grown into a culture of learning through work and reflection within the on-campus employment experience. It has provided a guide for supervisors to create meaningful and enriching experiences, turning student employees into student leaders.

On-campus student employees graduate at twice the rate of non-student employees, achieve higher success rates, and develop the ability to articulate their transferable skills, greatest accomplishments in their roles, their goals for the future and their path to get there. You can read more about Alaska PEAK in the Green & Gold News and about the evolution of the program in a recent report about Alaska PEAK.
