I was saddened to learn that Carolyne Wallace died this past weekend. Carolyne had a long history of service at UAF. For 30 years she was the assistant to the dean for the School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences. She also served as president of the UAF College of Fellows, chairwoman for the William R. Wood Scholarship Fund and, most recently, a member of the UAF Chancellor’s Board of Advisors. She was a University of Alaska Foundation board member from 2003 to 2014.

Carolyne and her husband, Chick, have been strong supporters of the University, military and active in the Fairbanks community. The United Way of the Tanana Valley recognized the Wallaces in 2000 with the first Golden Heart Couple Award, and they were honored in 2003 by the Midnight Sun Council of the Boy Scouts of America as Distinguished Citizens of the Year.

If you or someone you know is struggling with this loss, please don’t struggle alone. Free help is available through the Employee Assistance Program. Please call 1-888-993-7650, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
