About: Take Wing, Alaska provides a structured and supportive framework to assist Alaska Native students from partner school districts to transition successfully into a post-secondary institution (partnering with UAA and Alaska Job Corps). The project recruits students in their sophomore year of high school and will facilitate communication between students, family, and post-secondary institutions. The transition experience includes a campus residence experience in the summer; the selection of a home-community (home base) sponsor to assist the student in completing high school and to build relationships within and between the family and community and institution of choice; a student/mentor campus and class shadowing experience; and a final faculty sponsorship as the student enrolls into the institution.
