Developing leaders for a rapidly changing Arctic

The Arctic Leadership Initiative (ALI) is a University of Alaska-wide program that prepares students, faculty, and partners to lead across disciplines, cultures, and communities in the Arctic. ALI supports people who are curious, collaborative, and willing to engage complexity, whether in science, policy, Indigenous knowledge, education, business, or public service.

ALI is a priority of the University of Alaska President and Board of Regents (Priority Strategy: Building Arctic Leaders).
