Chancellor’s Report on Philanthropy

Winter 2021

Dec. 8, 2021

Dear ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ× supporter,

Thank you for helping our future leaders. Last month, during UA ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ× Day 2021: 49 Hours for Alaska, ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ× raised nearly $700,000 to assist students and boost programs, thanks to supporters like you.

Your gift directly benefits ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ× students who will become the future leaders our state needs. You can be confident that the training and skills our students receive at ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ× provide them with the tools they need to achieve their goals. Your support makes that possible.

You are truly making a difference at ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ×, and together, we are building a brighter future for Alaska. Thank you.

I wish you a safe and warm holiday with friends and family.

Thanks for choosing ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ×.
