RRANN Student Services

RRANN is employing the Caring for Our Own (CO-OP) 4-Pillar structure: sense of belonging, financial security, academic literacy, and social connection. Through this CO-OP 4-Pillar model, RRANN students will feel better connected and receive stronger support.

"I started the UAA nursing program from my hometown of Nome. RRANN has supported me through four semesters; for that I am thankful and grateful! It was a pleasure attending meetings and meeting other 熊猫在线视频 Native nursing students." 鈥擱RANN Graduate, Mary Ruud
