UAF professor Jerry Mohatt passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 10.

Jerry, a professor of psychology, served as the director for UAF's Center for Alaska Native Health Research, IAB, which he established in 2001 after more than two decades of work to develop a nationally recognized biomedical health research program in Alaska.



During his time at UAF, Jerry laid the foundation for a joint UAF/UAA Ph.D. program in clinical-community psychology. He served as dean of the former College of Rural Alaska and the College of Human and Rural Development. Before coming to UAF, Jerry was the founding president of the Sinte Gleska University on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
