UA Fostering a New Type of Outreach A new movement is under way to shift the way in which the UA engages its community partners in outreach initiatives funded by research grants. Where academics of the past sometimes limited their outreach projects, the move today is toward tailored, multi-year culturally responsive initiatives that serve a range of people throughout Arizona and beyond.

Externships to Give UA Students Hands-On Experience This summer, students will work with Arizona Cooperative Extension on sustainability projects throughout the state - providing them valuable on-the-job experience and allowing them to contribute to the UA's land-grant mission of bettering the community. Said the UA's Mark Apel: "It really helps them to get ready for the job market, to understand sustainability and get some real-world working experience."
This weekend, 5,728 undergraduate degrees, 908 master's degrees, four educational specialist degrees and 255 doctoral degrees will be awarded at the UA.
UA Offers Continued Career Support for New Grads Entering Workforce More than 5,700 undergraduates just earned UA degrees, and while the job market is starting to look up, it remains competitive.
