Steve Frank featured in 2022 UAF Legacy Lecture

The 2022 Legacy Lecture will honor businessman, legislator and University of Alaska Fairbanks alumnus Steve Frank at 7 p.m. Monday, June 6, at UAF’s Murie Building auditorium.

The annual Legacy Lecture celebrates UAF alumni who have made significant contributions to the community.

After graduating from UAF, Frank began his career as a banker, went into real estate and eventually pivoted to politics. He was elected to the Alaska House in 1984 and moved to the Senate in 1989, developing a reputation as a quiet, thoughtful and effective leader who would work across the aisle for the people he served.

The June event will feature a film about Frank’s life, followed by a conversation with Frank and a question-and-answer session, both led by veteran journalist Robert Hannon.

The Legacy Lecture is presented by UAF Summer Sessions and Lifelong Learning. The event, which will be followed by a reception, will be livestreamed at media.uaf.edu. A video of the Legacy Lecture also will be posted afterward at www.uaf.edu/summer/events.
