Chancellor’s Report on Philanthropy
Winter 2022
Dear ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ supporter,
As we celebrate the season of gratitude, I reflect on your generosity and that of others like you who make a difference at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ by investing in our world-class people and programs.

That evening, nearly $100,000 was donated in support of the This initiative moves ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ one step closer to the construction of what will be a center of belonging for Alaska Native and Indigenous students everywhere.
This fall I had the privilege to deliver ¾«¶«Ó°Òµâ€™s Convocation. I invite you to check out the — we have a lot to celebrate! Notably, through the generous gifts from our past, present and future donors, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ students and programs continue to thrive.
As we celebrate the power of transformative philanthropy at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ, it seems fitting to appreciate our legacy donors — an extraordinary group of people who included, or plan to include, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ in their estate plans. ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ is deeply grateful for the gifts from our past that continue to have a tremendous impact today, and we are humbled by the philanthropy we have yet to see.
I wish you a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends, and thanks for choosing ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ.
