There are many excellent resources within the university to help employees through difficult times. I understand and empathize with employees who are anxious and filled with uncertainty as a result of the evolving budget landscape. At the end of the day, it is the faculty, staff and students who make this university great.

The university provides employees with a 24-hour, confidential, employee assistance program that offers many valuable services, such as counseling, financial and legal advice, and child care assistance. This service is free to all university employees.

To contact the program, call ​​1-866-465-8934. Use company ID GC5901Q (The ID indicates you are a university employee.) EAP will assist employees with locating community resources.

You can also call 907-474-7700 to set up an appointment with a UAF HR professional.

If you or colleagues are in need of assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out and contact any of the above services.
