Cama-i Room: Where friends meet

If you’ve never been to the Cama-i Room, please stop by. We’re located in the Lee Gorsuch Commons and open seven days a week. The Cama-i Room is a social gathering place that offers activities and programs from 4:30 pm to midnight. There are typically 20 visitors in the Cama-i Room each night and activities offered include: game nights, fry bread making, carving, beading and discussions with local Alaska Native elders and artists.

Come enjoy the many Welcome Week activities that are planned during the first week of classes, they include: pillow sewing, making fry bread, playing Wii, and creating an Alaska Native art piece.  Mark your calendar for the Pilot Bread Connection on Saturday, Sept. 8.  For more information and to sign up for the Pilot Bread Connection contact the ANROP/Cama-i Room Coordinator, Karla Booth at (907) 751-7452 or email ankhb@uaa.alaska.edu.
