Dear UAF students, staff and faculty,

Today we come together as a nation to honor Veterans Day. It’s a moment to recognize and thank our military veterans for their dedicated service and sacrifice. Many members of our UAF community — students, staff and faculty — have made commitments to our country through military service. Their diverse experiences contribute to the strength and resilience of our UAF community.

I’m proud to share that 17% of our student body is military-affiliated, a reflection of the important role veterans play on our campus. Thank you to the UAF Department of Military and Veterans Services for their unwavering support of our military students and their families. A special thanks to our Nanook veterans for your commitment, and thanks for choosing UAF.

Warm regards,
Dan White, chancellor
