Dear UAA Community,

As 2021 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the year and the incredible
strides we have made together as a university community. While the year has certainly
posed challenges along with some new reasons for thankfulness, I am continually reminded
of your resilience — our students, faculty and staff who persevere and continue the
inspiring work of pursuing education, conducting research and contributing to the
vitality of our Southcentral Alaska communities.
Seawolf spirit was fully on display during our first in-person commencement ceremonies
since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We celebrated nearly 700 students graduating
this semester and joining the UAA alumni family. Thank you to all the faculty, staff,
students, volunteers and alumni who made this extraordinary event possible.
