Congrats to Caleb Scholar Katy Tomter! Katy graduated with a BA in Alaska Native Studies with a minor in Political Science. Katy says, “Now that I’m graduated, I will be spending more time on the land and learning from my elders while I can.

We are proud of you, Katy! #CalebScholars #EmpoweredAlaskaNativeScholars Read More
