Dear UAF students, faculty and staff,

In this season of gratitude, my thanks to each of you for choosing UAF and sharing your time, talents, and passions with our community. The impact of our university reaches beyond those who work and take classes here, which is apparent every time our community fills the Salisbury Theater for a concert, enjoys our trails on ski or foot, or cheers on a Nanook athletics team in the Patty gym, E.F. Horton Rifle Range, or Carlson Center. Thank you for making UAF a welcoming and engaged community. 

As you take some well deserved rest during fall break, I encourage you to reflect on the impact of your work. Each person at UAF, whether faculty, staff, student or community member plays a key role in achieving our vision – excellence through transformative experiences. 

Thank you for choosing UAF.

— Dan White, chancellor
