Periodically, the school partners with the Sitka Sound Science Center to send doctoral students to Sitka for six week “externships.” Doctoral students Lisa Berdie, Priya Gandhi, and Zhan Okuda-Lim joined KCAW’s Brooke Schafer to discuss the work they’re doing in the community over the six-week period.
