by CBPP Staff |
Join Us for the 5th Annual 2026 CBPP Showcase!
Alaska’s future is shaped by informed dialogue, civic engagement, and the leaders who step forward to serve. As the 2026 election season approaches, the University of Alaska Anchorage (ĢƵ) College of Business and Public Policy (CBPP) invites community members, policy makers, students, staff, and faculty to engage in meaningful conversations about the issues shaping Alaska’s future.
This year, the CBPP Showcase will focus on public policy. The Showcase will feature discussions centered on the challenges and opportunities facing Alaska communities across the state such as leadership, policy priorities, housing, PFD, and more.
In addition to this year’s programming, CBPP will host a live gubernatorial debate on the ĢƵ campus. This event will feature candidates who have advanced to the general election from Alaska's top-four primary for Governor.
