Dear UAF community,

This Monday, UAF is closed to celebrate Alaska Civil Rights Day and honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. This holiday is an opportunity to reflect on Alaska’s unique history and the challenges that have shaped our state and our country. It is also a time to recognize the progress we've made and acknowledge the ongoing efforts for a more inclusive society.

At UAF, it is our collective vision to cultivate a community of respect, diversity, inclusion and caring. Through our daily actions, we have the ability to actively promote an environment where every Alaskan's voice is valued and where each individual has the opportunity to realize their full potential. I appreciate each member of our community who makes steps toward this larger vision. 

Thank you for choosing UAF. 

Dan White, chancellor
