September 2024

On September 19, 2024, United States Ambassador David L. Cohen engaged with Yukon University Business and Leadership and Indigenous Governance students about the importance of country-to-country relations. The roundtable was moderated by YukonU political science instructor Kirk Cameron.

This was the Ambassador’s fourth visit to northern Canada since his appointment in 2021. He said he has made it a priority to spend time with students. Fresh off a visit to University of Alaska’s Arctic Domain Center of Excellence, he said he sees opportunity to strengthen partnerships in education between Alaska and Yukon.

“The future of this friendship is squarely in your hands,” he said. “And a major goal of mine is to make sure both countries are always communicating.”
