The fall 2012 Learning to Learn (L2L) camp brought in 19 new students to KuC! We had a busy three day intensive camp with some fun filled activities.
Center for Alaska Native Health Resources By Diana Campbell
The Center for Alaska Native Health Research has a new home in Bethel. Now researchers and participants may meet in a comfortable area at UAF’s Kuskokwim Campus.
The 1,378-square foot research space will have rooms for long-distance teleconferencing, physical activity measurements, and nutritional data

collection, among other uses. The Bethel facility has a mirror site in Fairbanks, also operated by CANHR. The National Institutes of Health pro-vided a $7.5 million grant to UAF in order to create the new spaces. About $3.8 million was used to build the Bethel facility.
“The new research suites show how much we value our relation-ships with research participants, whom we view as our research partners,” said Bert Boyer, CANHR director. “It is further proof of our commitment to work together toward elimination of health disparities among Alaska Native people.”
This year we had students from Pilot Station, Chefornak, Tuntutuliak, Kongiganak, Kwigillingok, Kwethluk, Eek, Kotzebue and Bethel.
During the L2L Camp, students wrote about themselves, their studies and their communities. They also had a chance to talk with faculty members and listened to different staff members describe their programs and the services available. The Emerging Scholars Program would like to thank everyone who came and participated during the L2L camp.
Students who participated in L2L say it really helped prepare them for college life. They met other students and now know who and where to turn to for assistance from staff and faculty. Students who participate during L2L have a better chance of succeeding in their first year of college because of the head start they receive.

Sowing Seeds of Inspiration By Quentin Simeon
This fall, KuC Recruiter, Quentin Simeon has been traveling to many villages and connecting with hundreds of students in the Y-K Delta.
So far, he has visited the villages of Chefornak, Chevak, Eek, Kalskag, Kotlik, Russian Mission, St. Mary’s, and Tuluksak. Each village is unique and each student has unlimited potential. The school visits are the best part of the job, and meeting the students inspires something new for the next school visit. No matter what your educational goal is, Quentin instills the message of expecting to win, practicing in school like it is basketball, having fun while you learn, knowing where you are going, never giving up, and asking for help when you need it. These messages are the core of his recruiting message, and the students really seem to appreciate his presentation. We, here at KuC, are excited to see the new students walking through KuC doors and are proud to see them walking out at graduation, because “your success is our success”.
Applying or renewing your scholarship applications for spring? Be sure to submit your new course registration and Fall 2012 transcripts to corresponding agencies, such as AVCP and CVRF. A copy of your registration can be submitted after you meet with an academic advisor and sched-ule your classes. If you need to access your transcript, you can simply log into the secured area at www.uaonline.alaska.edu and go to Student Services & Account Information. The Academic Transcript (unofficial) can be printed under Student Records. In the UAOnline Student Services & Account Information section, you can find the order request for an official transcript, which is usually printed at the end of the semester after grades are posted. Requests are no longer held for pending grades, so you can view your unofficial transcripts to ensure all your grades will be sent to your requesting agency.
Be sure that applications are submitted before the deadlines. Agencies know that transcripts and registrations are not always ready at the time applications are due, so they usually give extra time for the remaining items. Always check with your funding agency about the status of an application to ensure all documents are in place.

KuC SPORTS NEW GYM
The sound of a basketball hitting the floor is new at KuC! Open the double doors at the end of the hallway in the newly renovated main campus building and a fresh new gym invites students. The gym of modest size is half court, light, airy, and has a gleaming hoop at each end. Students, unable to contain their excitement, often stop to shoot a few balls between classes.
The schedule is filling up fast with early morning exercise classes, Karate, open gym, jump rope, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays over 50 young ballerinas move down the hallway into dance classes.
While student use takes pri-ority, there is still time for Community Education classes such as Zumba where stu-dents and community members will move to the same Latin rhythms sweeping the rest of the country .

Cooperative Extension is the branch of UAF tasked with extending research-based information to the general public. The goal: education that can benefit everyone!
Every winter we’ve been doing our best to translate the latest in food science into hands-on food preservation workshops. From yogurt making to fish jarring, sausage making to pickling veggies, there is something to spark the heart of those who love to put away their own food. This December we are featuring a new workshop—a fusion of cooking, budgeting and nutrition! The workshop, Budget Conscious Cooking for the Holidays, will focus on simple, nutritious and cheap meals. We’ll cover some basic cooking techniques, tips for saving money while shopping and tricks for making your leftovers last. Always valuing hands-on learning, we’ll definitely cook and eat a dish together. Save the date: Budget Conscious Cooking for the Holidays will take place on Mon. Dec. 17th.
For those of you who would like a simple recipe to start off the winter season, consider warming up your belly with Ramen Noodle Skillet for lunch.
