We were saddened to learn of the recent passing of Karen Geer, a former staff member in the dental hygiene program. Karen served as the program’s clinical support specialist for nearly 20 years, supporting countless students throughout their educational journeys.

Students remember her with deep affection – one shared, “She was one of my favorite people at UAA,” while another recalled, “She had a beautiful spirit and was a joy to be around.”

A celebration of life for Karen will be held on January 10, 2026, at 1 p.m. at North Anchorage Church of God (1711 Bragaw St., Anchorage, AK 99508). All who knew Karen are welcome to attend.
