Chancellor Sandeen is proud to announce the winners of two award programs, Chancellor's Awards for Excellence and UAA/APU Consortium Library's Affordable Course Materials Award, for their outstanding work in support of student success and institutional excellence.

I want to wish you all a great summer. This year has brought many challenges, and I am grateful to all our faculty, staff and students for your flexibility. We are currently making plans for the fall 2020 semester. We know it will look a little different from past fall semesters due to the COVID-19 situation.

University of Alaska President Jim Johnsen has named Matthew Cooper as the university’s next General Counsel. Cooper’s appointment will follow the retirement of UA’s current General Counsel Michael Hostina in June.

UAA IT Services Technical Support Center will be open reduced hours beginning May 11, 2020.

This time of year we celebrate commencement and the achievements of our students and faculty. We also mark the end of another academic year and begin to anticipate the next. Fiscal year ’20 has been like no other, and fiscal year ’21 is sure to also be unique with some significant challenges.

UAA IT Services is kicking off the 3rd annual Computer Bulk Order purchase program! UAA departments, including UAA community campuses, and UA units located in the Anchorage area have the opportunity to purchase Dell computers, laptops and monitors at highly discounted prices. With UA Statewide and UAF joining the Bulk Buy this year, we've been able to secure even deeper discounts (up to 30%).

A black bear has been spotted on and around the Anchorage campus, specifically on the Goose Lake trail. Although foot traffic on campus is minimal, this is a good time to remind everyone to be aware of surroundings and take safety precautions when venturing outside.

Career Exploration and Services has transitioned to an entirely virtual model until further notice as part of our commitment to keeping the UAA community healthy. This means our physical doors are closed, but our virtual doors remain open to support students with their career development needs. How can we help you help your students?
