Dear UAF students, faculty and staff,

As we approach the fall break, I want to thank you for choosing UAF, not just as a place to work or study, but as a place where you are investing your time and talent. This is a time of gratitude and I offer my thanks to each of you for sharing your passion with this university community that affects so many in a positive and constructive way.

Please take time for yourself and those closest to you. Reach out to friends and family, and check in with someone you haven’t heard from lately. Extend a helping hand or a kind word. A small gesture can make one person’s day a little brighter, and your acts of kindness add up to a better experience for everyone.

Thank you for choosing UAF.

— Dan White, chancellor
