Six UAF employees were among the 10 Alaskans recently inducted into the Alaska Innovators Hall of Fame. The 2021 inductees were honored at a live presentation during the 2021 Innovation Summit, hosted by the Juneau Economic Development Council last week.

UAF inductees were: F. Stuart (Terry) Chapin, Syun-Ichi Akasofu, John E. Walsh, Greg Shipman, Don Hampton and Orion Lawlor.

The Alaska State Committee on Research created the Alaska Innovators Hall of Fame in 2014 to celebrate and honor outstanding individuals who are leaders in innovation and contribute to growing Alaska’s culture of innovation.

More information about the Innovators Hall of Fame is available on their website. The full presentation can be viewed on the University of Alaska Facebook page.
