Hello University of Alaska Fairbanks,

First and foremost, we wanted to take a moment and thank you all for everything you have done to support each other and our students. This has been an incredible year in so many ways with the ups and downs, but we've done it all together, and so for that, we are grateful for each of you.

Next, the official reason for this email...

As we round the corner into the holidays often known for gatherings with family & friends at home, we wanted to remind everyone that in even times of limited travel, smaller gatherings, and social distancing, all UA faculty, & staff have use of Zoom even for personal use. Use Zoom to host big holiday gatherings, connect with family at a distance, catch up with friends, defend your trivia night champion title, and more.

Attached is a Cheat Sheet to help you claim and navigate your Zoom account if you haven't yet. Everyone receiving this email has a Zoom "Pro" license through UA to connect with up to 300 participants (for those of you with reeeaaalllly big families.)

If you have any challenges with getting things rolling with Zoom, please reach out to our Helpdesk (907-450-8300 (option 1), ua-video@alaska.edu) - we're here to help!

Best wishes for you and yours,

-OIT
