Sara Juday, a research professional with Institutional Effectiveness and Institutional
Research, is retiring on June 18, 2021.

Since joining UAA in May 2010, she has been a key member of the Institutional Research
team, analyzing data trends, collecting data to produce dozens of briefings and reports
on a range of topics for UAA, the UA system and the UA Board of Regents. During her
tenure at UAA, she produced 11 annual Performance Reports, documenting achievements
of UAA students, faculty and staff. She served as a writer/editor for the UAA Accreditation
Self-Study and the application for renewal of UAA’s Carnegie Elective Community Engagement
Classification in 2014-15. She researched and wrote the book, From Sourdoughs to Seawolves, which chronicles the development of UAA’s athletic program and how UAA became known
as Seawolves. She also edited the book, Becoming UAA, 1954-2014: The Origins and Development of the University of Alaska Anchorage, by William A. Jacobs. In looking back at her time at UAA, she said, "I’ve been immensely
fortunate to work with so many wonderful people and I’ve learned so much. It’s been
an 'amazing' journey."

One of Sara’s colleagues summed it up well: "Sara Juday is a joy to work with. She's
dedicated to the mission, a great problem-solver and her work is always of the highest
order — a consummate professional in every respect." Please join us in thanking her
for her many contributions.
