ALASKA: Student Summer Project Touches Many Facets of EPSCoR
Cross-functional collaboration is at the heart of Alaska EPSCoR’s work. And a project completed this summer by EPSCoR-funded students is an example of just how far those connections reach.
University of Alaska’s Students-to-Startups program, run by the UAF Center for Innovation and Alaska EPSCoR’s Workforce Development Lead Peter Webley, is a summer internship program that pairs UA students with Alaska mariculture startup companies. The summer course covers the gamut of startup topics including design thinking, startup funding, intellectual property, path to market strategies, and pitching.
