Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq stepped onto the greens of Virginia Tech University for the first time in May 2021. But this campus tour was unlike any other Itchuaqiyaq had taken in the past.
Now she is Dr. Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq - an Inupiaq woman from Kotzebue, recent doctoral graduate, and a new professor at the university. I ve spent so much of my time being nurtured or challenged by professors but I never considered that I could be one myself, said Itchuaqiyaq. It was just not within my world of expectation . so walking across campus it just really tripped me out!
