Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµGovernment Relations connects our university to members of Congress, the executive branch, and national education organizations. As the world’s leading arctic research institution, Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµengages in numerous partnerships with federal research agencies and the military. To maintain the university's pre-eminence in arctic research, we inform policymakers about UA’s role as an engine for scientific discovery and innovation.
