Alumni of Distinction: Ted Trueblood

Ted's 42-year career in engineering kicked off the summer after the earthquake, and he's had a hand in building the state's infrastructure ever since. Likewise, he's equally dedicated to UAA. He chose to attend MIT when UAA didn't offer a civil engineering baccalaureate degree, and lobbied for expanded undergraduate courses at UAA upon his return to Anchorage. Additionally, he's served as an adjunct instructor for both undergraduate and graduate courses, sat on the civil engineering advisory board, joined UAA's 50th anniversary committee and, along with his wife, been a major gift donor to the College of Engineering. He also served as founding president of the UAA Alumni Association.
