Fairbanks Community Advisory Council

The Chancellor’s Fairbanks Community Advisory Council has been established for the purpose of making a closer connection to the pulse of the greater Fairbanks region, addressing 'community engagement' between Fairbanks and the UAF campus. The charge to the advisory council is to lend advice to the Chancellor, raising issues important to the stakeholders, and fostering a sense of two-way involvement with the Fairbanks community.
