UAF Vision 2017: Shaping the Future of UAF
Fifty-five leaders from Alaska, the Lower 48 and the university were asked to make recommendations in 2007 on how UAF can position itself to become one of the world's premier arctic research and teaching universities by 2017, when UAF celebrates its 100th anniversary. They were divided into work groups that mirror the six pathways of the UAF Strategic Plan 2010.
