It did not take long to adjust to this; after the initial experi- ence students would run home to get in the bath.

There are many colorful and im- pressive presentations from the more than 125 countries and organizations at EXPO 2005. Yet the Yup’ik presen- tation was different.

    UNIVERSITY of ALASKA President’s Report 2006-2007 “The Next Thousand Days” Letter from UA President Mark Hamilton The University of Alaska stands at the brink of tremendous opportunity. The next thousand days takes us roughly to our 50th anniversary of Alaska’s statehood, achieved in 1959. As we head toward this celebration, I ask this question: Have we done all that we can to make the 49th star on the American flag the best that it can be? We’ve made great progress, but we must do more. We’re a state blessed with an abundance of natural resources, from oil and gas to fish and minerals. Have we made the most of these resources, providing a maximum benefit to the Alaskans who live here? Are we preparing our young people to take the legacy jobs that will exist long after a new gas pipeline has been constructed? The next thousand days present an awesome opportunity to reflect on the past and ensure a bright future. At UA this past year we awarded a record 3,223 degrees and certificates – the most ever in a single year. Public confidence in our state university system has never been stronger. More high school graduates than ever are choosing to attend college, and they are choosing UA. The UA Scholars program has been wildly successful, beyond anything I had hoped for when it was first introduced in 1999. In short, we’re on a roll. We have many goals over the next thousand days. They roughly fall into one of these three categories: • Workforce Development – Strengthening programs aimed at producing an educated and trained workforce for Alaska,
