For UAF Junior Ashley Strauch, combining science and philanthropy are part of her undergraduate research.
Strauch and her mentor Dr. Ellen Lopez are currently engaged in a research project that focuses on how Alaska Natives cope with cancer by hosting “Hopeful Connections,” a bi-monthly support group for Alaska Native people affected by cancer that is giving survivors and their loved ones a place to share their cancer experiences.
