“UAS Sitka was probably impacted less than 99-percent of the college campuses across the country,” says campus director Dr. Paul Kraft, “because remote is what we’re really good at.” (UAS photo)
Sitka’s campus of the University of Alaska Southeast is closed to the public, but education is happening there at greater levels than anyone expected.
Dr. Paul Kraft is the UAS Sitka campus director. During a presentation for the Sitka Chamber of Commerce Fall Speaker Series earlier this month (12-9-20), he said that enrollment is 750 students. He credited the strong numbers to the fact that the campus already had a well-established distance-learning program in place when the pandemic struck in March of this year.
