Alaska attorney Cliff Groh (far left) and his colleague (second from left), a professor of Economics at the University of Alaska Anchorage, visited our class on October 5 to give us an overview of how the economy of our state works. Cliff Groh is a lifelong Alaskan who has been practicing law for over two decades. He currently serves as the President of the Alaska Common Ground, a forum dedicated to the discussion of public policy issues of the state. Cliff's presentation, aptly named "The State of the State," engages students in a classroom setting. Student ambassador Mark Phang (That's me in the middle!) and classmate AJ David (far right) simulate legislative activities that affect Alaska's funds to various sectors, including non-profit organizations. We learned that balancing the budget up north is no easy task!
