It is with great sadness that I write to you about the death of Ed Rasmuson, a visionary business and community leader and staunch advocate for the University of Alaska. Ed believed Alaska’s future requires great universities to educate our citizens, develop our workforce, and embark on research of global impact, and he worked tirelessly to promote that vision. With his passing, we pause to remember a man who served in so many remarkable ways and was a true asset for our state.
