Summit 2022/2023: University of Alaska Southeast’s Collection of Exceptional Academic Works

Abstract

A Note from the Writing Specialist: Last year’s edition of Summit was the first time the Writing Center released a physical copy of the journal, and we are so excited to offer you another one for 2022/2023. For Summit’s forward last year, I wrote about how proud I was of the writing tutors who put this journal together and of all the UAS students they serve. Not much has changed on that front, except that I am somehow even more proud of what these students have accomplished and what I know they are capable of going forward. Every year, they blow me away with their talent, passion, and knowledge. I’ve learned so much from all of them. Every year, they reach a new summit—and while this journal is meant to represent that high peak of academic achievement, I see our students and tutors continuing to ascend, reaching greater altitudes of success. We have a small student body, but their accomplishments will be many. I don’t have to be a psychic to know that the passion with which our students approach their interests will lead them to great things-and great impact on others. After working at UAS for more than two years now, I am beginning to have to say goodbye to students I’ve gotten close with as they prepare to move on to the next mountain to climb. I’m thankful to have this book to hold in my hands, to remember them and all the wonderful things they care about. Jessy Goodman / Writing Specialist and Summit staff advisor
