The State Legislature provided funding to partially meet fixed costs. This allowed us to redirect internal savings from mortgaging faculty and staff, to invest over $1.5 million inexciting and highly relevant programs that are making a difference for this state. We invested in teacher education,health care, and vocational education. We also invested to help realize Alaska's economic development opportunities through programs in logistics, data retrieval and analysis, and natural resources management and development. Additionally, the new UA Scholars Program has attracted 270 of the states top high school graduates. When these bright young students graduate they are four times more likely to stay in Alaska than their peers who attend colleges and universities outside. That means we retain educated people who will contribute to the future of Alaska. Alaska is at a crucial turning point from reliance on its natural resources to its human resources. The key to making this transition from a colony to a self-sustaining economy is investment in higher education. This investment is not just one among many options for moving our state forward. It is not even one of the bestoptions. It is the only option. This has been true throughout history and across this nation. It is true today and here in Alaska. It is a pleasure to present the 2000 UA in Review, which provides a comprehensive, consistent, and useful statistical picture of the university.I hope you will find this year's publication helpful to your understanding of the university and its contributions to Alaska, enabling you to voice your support of our goal to becoming the engine of economic development and diversification for the state of Alaska. If you have any questions about the information in this year's UA in Review, or need more precise formulation of any of the data, please do not hesitate to contact Pat Pitney, Director, Statewide Budgetand Institutional Research.

Indeed, cooperation is a basic operating principle for the university libraries. We follow common standards, use the same vendor for our library computer systems, and share materials through Interlibrary Loan and joint purchases of electronic materials. The libraries participate in Alaska’s Reciprocal Borrowers Program, which allows students, staff and faculty from all UA campuses colleges to check materials out from any of the libraries and return them through their local libraries. Electronic materials in business, nursing, environmental and biological studies, education and psychology are purchased for UA-wide use. Another group of electronic materials, the Databases for Alaskans (recently renamed the Digital Pipeline), licenses resources for all Alaskans as well as the university. This program has been very successful and serves as a model for statewide library services. The Databases for Alaskans program delivers core academic resources to all of the UA campuses. Together, the UA libraries represent the largest core of information resources in the state of Alaska. Because of this and the University of Alaska’s service mission to the state, the UA Libraries dedicate considerable resources in funds, staff time, and IT to assisting all Alaskans as well as supporting the educational and research missions of the University of Alaska.

The Refuge spans more than 200 miles west to east from the Trans-Alaska pipeline corridor to Canada, and 200 miles north to south from the Beaufort Sea to the Venetie Indian Tribal Lands and the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge. Geography Major land forms include coastal plain, the Brooks Mountain Range and boreal forest areas south of the Brooks Range. Beginning on offshore barrier islands or at the Beaufort Sea coast where islands are not present, the Refuge extends south, including lagoon areas along much of the coast, encompassing the mostly treeless coastal plain, a relatively narrow strip of rolling tundra to the Brooks Mountain Range, located 8-50 miles from the Beaufort Sea coast. The mountain range extends roughly east to west, bisecting the Refuge and creating a natural north-south division. The Refuge includes the four tallest peaks (led by Mt. Isto, 9049 ft.) and the only extensive glaciation in the Brooks Range. The mostly hilly and mountainous south side is cut by numerous stream and river valleys dominated by sub-arctic boreal forest of spruce, birch and willow.

  • UAA Recruitment Announcement
    University of Alaska Anchorage Chancellor POSITION PROFILE The University of Alaska Anchorage (“UAA”) invites applications and nominations for the position of Chancellor. The position reports to the President of the University of Alaska System. With this profile, the Search Committee seeks to provide nominators and potential candidates with information about UAA, the position, and participation in the search. ABOUT UAA The University of Alaska Anchorage is a multi-campus university that serves over 25,000 students each year. UAA is the largest university in the state and one of three universities in the University of Alaska Statewide System. For a young institution, UAA has an extremely complex history. The present university was created in 1987 following a statewide reorganization that merged a university with several community colleges. These institutions have offered educational opportunities to the communities of southcentral Alaska since the 1950s. UAA offers instruction ranging from adult basic education to graduate and professional education, serves both traditional and non-traditional students. Through its centers and institutes, the University’s research helps Alaskans to improve their health, public policy, education, training, economic development, and quality of life. UAA is accredited by the Northwest Commission of Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). Many individual academic programs have additional specialized accreditation from professional associations and other external entities. UAA is classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a public Master’s Colleges & Universities: Larger Programs, with a special classification for Community Engagement. Distinctive educational opportunities include undergraduate research, national and international exchanges, and study abroad programs. In 2017, Victory Media designated UAA a Military Friendly School for the eighth consecutive year.
