Since my impoverished childhood I have had the dream of positively impacting the lives of my local Yupik people. Through NAU, I have learned that this dream can be attainable through renewable energy. Because of NAU, I truly believe that investments in renewable energy systems can stimulate the southwest Alaskan economy while providing much lower energy costs, ultimately improving lives.Kory Joe, Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics
