The Fact Book can be used as a convenient reference for answering some of the most frequently asked questions about our institution. By examining these historical and current data, we can better anticipate and plan for the future, promote enhancement of academic programs and facilities, and provide service to the citizens of our state. This year saw us begin using the new UAF Information Warehouse in compiling several statistical tables as well as the second release of the Electonic Fact Book, thus making better quality information more accessible to a wider audience. Minor changes and additions have occurred in some tables due to information requested this past year for the UAF budget planning effort, implementing the strategic plan, and campus research initiatives. Taken together, these additions and process improve- ments will make the information in the Fact Book even more relevant in the upcom- ing year. Our sincere appreciation is extended to the many individuals throughout the UAF community and the State who contributed to the production of this Fact Book. We are confident that the faculty, staff, students. alumni, and friends of the University will continue to find this publication a convenient, authoritative, and valuable reference of general and statistical information about UAF.
