The University of Alaska Fairbanks Alumni Association is accepting nominations to serve three-year terms on its 12-member board of directors. Nominations will be accepted through March 5.

In everything we do, we strive to connect and support UAF and its alumni. We encourage excellence in all aspects of the university and provide opportunities for alumni to engage in lifelong involvement with their university community.
