RASOR Program

RASOR Program Rural Alaska Students in One-health Research (RASOR), University of Alaska Fairbanks and UAS Sitka Engagement is welcomed and encouraged.

Rural Alaska Students in One-health Research (RASOR) Program launches high school researches on home shores through mentorship and college prep in rural Southeast Alaska. RASOR students conduct environmental research in their communities with local tribal mentors while earning college credit online by engaging in courses designed to support rural Alaska students in their first college experience. RASOR is a University of Alaska Fairbanks program in partnership with University of Alaska Southeast, Sitka Tribe of Alaska (STA) and Southeast Alaska Tribal Ocean Research (SEATOR). We work on the traditional lands and waters of Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian peoples in partnership with local tribal organizations.

Wrangell High School students will share what they learned about the big impact of small things when they participate in the Advancing Indigenous Science and Engineering Society regional fair on Saturday, April 25, in Juneau. Their focus is on one small thing that belongs in the environment and one that doesn’t belong. The seven students will present their work on researching microplastics in the environment, and the medicinal properties of a lichen that grows on trees. The story will be in Wednesday's Sentinel, available at City Market, IGA, TK's, the Stikine Inn and Cooper's Corner, or at wrangellsentinel.com, or call 907-874-2301 to buy a subscription and never miss a week's news.
