Provide feedback on chancellor finalists
Four finalists for the UAF chancellor position — Daniel White, Michael Kuperberg, Tony Haymet and Mirta Martin —visited campus over the last week and a half to meet with university leadership, faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members.
|
As part of their visit, each candidate held several campus forums. For those that were unable to attend in person, recordings of those forums will be available online at www.uaf.edu/chancellor/search Friday afternoon, April 28.
|
The search committee will collect feedback on the candidates via online survey through 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 3. Broad input from the campus community will help the committee shape its recommendations to UA President Jim Johnsen.
|
The search committee will meet with the president in early May to provide feedback on the candidates. The president is expected to make a decision soon after meeting with the committee.
|
|
This is a very important position for UAF. Thank you all for taking the time to meet with the candidates, watch the forum recordings and provide your feedback to the committee.

Supporting the Heart Walk
From UAF Chancellor Dana Thomas
|
One of the causes UAF has generously supported over the years is the American Heart Association’s annual Heart Walk. More than 2,000 people take part in this walk in Fairbanks, so it is an opportunity to demonstrate UAF’s community connection. This year it is Saturday, May 13.
|
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of Americans and affects the lives of many of our employees and students. This is very personal for me because both of my parents died of heart attacks. I encourage the UAF community to join me in supporting the Heart Walk again this year.
|
Please consider being a leader by organizing a walking team or join an existing team. Alternatively, you can make a donation or volunteer in a manner that is meaningful to you. Philanthropy is a very personal choice, so if you have another cause that you prefer to support, I understand that and encourage you to act on those choices. One of my choices is the Heart Association.
|
I would like to thank Doug Schrage for once again volunteering to be UAF’s team captain and all of you who are actively putting your own Heart Walk teams together. If you would like to be a team leader or join a team now, it’s not too late! You can still sign up here.
|
|
Thank you for your continued support. Together we can make a difference.
