Shaping Alaska's Future 2017

President Gamble's initiative to create a new Strategic Direction for the University of Alaska started in earnest this week when the first of a series of planned listening sessions was held at the Eagle River Campus on Monday, Oct. 24. The next one will be in Bristol Bay on Friday, Nov. 4. For a full list of listening sessions, visit the Shaping Alaska's Future website.

The site is the central location for all matters related to the Strategic Direction effort. In addition to the schedule of listening sessions for this fall, you'll also find a short survey to help gather your ideas, reports, background documents and other helpful information. The website will be updated frequently throughout the academic year while the Strategic Direction initiative is underway.

If you have any questions, please "Contact Us": Strategic Direction coordinator, Chas St. George, or Dr. Paula Donson, associate vice president for academic affairs, both of whom participants will also get a chance to meet at listening sessions in the months ahead.
