Delta-Greely School Enrollment Projections
Delta-Greely School District
The economy and culture of Delta Junction were dominated for nearly 30 years by a large military presence at Ft. Greely and by the Delta Agriculture Project, which brought farming to the area in 1978. The 1990’s and early 2000’s brought major changes for the area in the form the Missile Defense Testbed, development of the Pogo gold mine, and an influx of religious refugees from the Ukraine. Such significant shifts in the population and economic activity left the Delta-Greely school district wondering just how many students they should prepare for. Information Insights projected changes in the student population for two years based on knowledge of the industries that were moving into the area, their respective workforces, and the culture of the newly arrived Ukrainian refugees. Information insights was able to help the school district avoid some common pitfalls, such as overbuilding, that often accompany major change.

Morningside Hospital blog earns Alaska history award
The Lost Alaskans: Morningside Hospital History Project has received the Alaska Historical Society‘s 2011 Pathfinder Award. According to the Society’s website:
The Pathfinder Award is given to an individual or several individuals who have indexed or prepared guides to Alaska historical material that has not been accessible. The 2011 Pathfinder award goes to the Lost Alaskans: Morningside Hospital History Project, and its primary researchers Ellen Ganley, Meg Greene, Karen Perdue, Robin Renfroe, Niejse Steinkruger, Sally Mead, Deborah Smith, Marylou Elton, and Vivian Hamilton. This group has worked to uncover the documentary record of mental health care during the years in which Alaskans were institutionalized out of state at Morningside Hospital. Their work not only helps reveal the past, but has had an impact on the lives of living family members seeking to understand what happened to their relatives.

Just another day at the office…
Two members of Information Insights facilitation team, Brenda and Jess Holden, pitched their tent at the Girl Scout Encampment last week. Jess worked with girls to explore the idea of voice in leadership and community, whether it is a troop, schools, or towns. She facilitated activities and conversation to explore ways girls want to contribute their voice in Girl Scouting and what that might look like. Brenda worked with a cross section of adult volunteers simultaneously to explore how Girl Scouts might improve volunteer support as well as gather ideas from adult volunteers on how the Council could shape the future state of the democratic voice of volunteers in the Alaska Council.
