The popular KuC Dancers, led by RD Faculty member Theresa John, exhibited their skills and creativity for the Regents and University of Alaska Administrators. Being the great sports that they are Pres. Mark Hamilton and Chair Brian Rogers had a go with the dance group...view the entertainment - click video window below:


The campus wishes to thank President Hamilton, UAF Chancellor Steve Jones and the Regents for their continued support for our Rural Kuskokwim Campus. We all feel the work being accomplished in Bethel and the surrounding village communities is valuable...support for our rural students continues in lieu of their support and individual efforts.
