Outstanding Student of the Year
Every year, the College of Liberal Arts asks each department to select its outstanding student(s) for that year- students who possess the passion and creativity for new discoveries and scholarship, students who demonstrate independence of thought and action in the pursuit of knowledge, and students who exemplify excellence.
The UAF Philosophy program has chosen the following as students who embody these qualities and so much more. Thank you for all your hard work and contributions to your department. You make a difference at UAF.
Congratulations to our 2026 Outstanding Student of the Year!
"... my interest lies with people. I found liberal arts鈥攅specially philosophy, the degree program I'm in right now鈥攖o help me understand people. It is helping to develop my skills with handling people, with making friends and making lasting friendships, but it also really helped me to develop my own character. And it's helped me to understand the things that I believe better and to support the things that I believe better, as well."
Always Outstanding
