Dear students,Ìý
Welcome to the fall semester! I hope everyone enjoyed their summer and is ready to
hit the ground running this fall. Whether this is your first semester as a student
or you are returning to UAF to pursue your degree, thank you for choosing UAF. We
are glad you are here.Ìý
At New Student Orientation last week, I shared my number one tip for being successful
in college: show up. That is, get engaged in the breadth of activities available to
you at UAF. This semester, I encourage you to focus on showing up. Not just for your
classes, though that is critical, but for yourself and others. Cheer on the Alaska
Nanooks at an athletics game, join a club, and find your community. Ask for help when
you need it. Our staff and faculty are here to support you.
I hope that whether you are studying on one of our campuses or via distance you make
the most of your UAF experience. Best of luck for an excellent semester.
Thank you for choosing UAF.
— Dan White, chancellor
