The Native Village of Kotzebue/KIRA and the Robert "Aqqaluk" Newlin, Sr. Memorial Trust co-hosted the annual student site visits at the UAA and UAF Campuses for autumn term 2002. The sites were chosen since an estimated 40% of our scholarship recipients attend in-state institutions. A student-mentoring planning meeting was hosted by the Robert "Aqqaluk" Newlin, Sr. Memorial Trust in Anchorage on March 21, 2003 and the annual student dinner was held the following day.
