Chancellor’s Report on Philanthropy

Fall 2023

The 2023-2024 academic year is now underway, and it officially kicked off last week with the celebration of my favorite day of the year: Move-In Day! This special day marks the beginning of our first-year students' college journeys as they bring all the essentials to campus for the start of this exciting chapter.

Whether a new collegiate student is a step past high school or a long time out, they are benefiting from your generosity in the form of a scholarship, athletics opportunities, research or academics. You enable students to achieve their dreams at UAF. And it is now, with classes beginning, that those dreams are coming into focus.

In the coming weeks, I will join my fellow UAF employees in welcoming new students to UAF. It is heartening to know that your contributions have eased their journey, provided clarity to their path, and enriched their university experience.

I encourage you to explore the Chancellor’s Report on Philanthropy, where you’ll find inspiring stories of the impact made possible by donors like you. Your steadfast support continues to profoundly impact the lives of our students.

Thank you!
