Friday Focus: UAF is our brand
July 19, 2024
When I talk about the place where I work, it's always the people I think about first. The colleagues I collaborate with, the alumni and donors I am connecting to the university, and the students I am privileged to observe as they find their passion and earn their degrees. As Alaskans, we know how one person's ripple of an idea can quickly become a legacy. UAF is not just a place or an institution, it's people. Together we've transformed thousands of lives.

Friday Focus: The future is bright, but so is the present
June 28, 2024
As an institute of higher education, we spend a lot of time thinking about the future. Students come here to get the tools they need to make their future dreams come through. Faculty spend their days giving students knowledge for future success or conducting research that advances their field.

Our number one celebration is commencement! That is the day that we confer degrees and a student transforms from a student to a graduate. It is a great day.
