The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) is a University of Alaska academic program offered at UAF and UAA.   ANSEP inspires, educates, and propels students forward. By infusing the fundamental values of Community, Family and Collaboration  into all elements of the program, ANSEP builds a welcoming university environment and provides a cornerstone for success. The program is focused on creating new professionals in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) among indigenous students, although others interested in these subject areas are welcome to join.

Weekly ANSEP meetings are held every Tuesday from 1:00 to 2:00pm in the Brooks Gathering Room.
