Alaska Does It Better: A Focus on A Sustainable Alaska Economy
The CBPP Showcase is a signature evening that has become more than just a celebration of innovative programs and academic excellence—it’s a powerful gathering of thought leaders, collaborators, and changemakers from the university and across Alaska.
Held in Rasmuson Hall, this vibrant evening transforms all three floors into a hub of interactive exhibits, engaging panel discussions that foster connection, innovation, and growth. In 2024, the Showcase welcomed over 450 guests. In 2025, we expect to host more than 500 attendees—including community members, industry professionals, alumni, students, faculty, and university leaders.
This year, we’re building on the momentum by introducing panel discussions featuring thought leaders from UAA CBPP alongside Alaska’s industries. These conversations are designed to foster relationships, spark collaboration, and explore key issues shaping Alaska’s future—particularly around how we can contribute to building a sustainable Alaskan economy. Through this, we aim to achieve three core goals:
- Enrich understanding of the transformative educational practices shaping the future of UAA and Alaska
- Foster cross-disciplinary collaboration across UAA colleges and the broader community
- Strengthen partnerships that fuel Alaska’s progress—including traditional resource industries and sectors like financial, fishing, forestry, mining, oil and gas, entrepreneurship and tourism industries, among others —where education plays a central role.
The Showcase is a moment to come together—not just to highlight what we do, but to amplify it. Together, we can inspire new connections, foster bold ideas, and help shape a stronger future for our students and our state.
