Winter 2022
Dear ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ supporter,
As we celebrate the season of gratitude, I reflect on your generosity and that of others like you who make a difference at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ by investing in our world-class people and programs.

That evening, nearly $100,000 was donated in support of the This initiative moves ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ one step closer to the construction of what will be a center of belonging for Alaska Native and Indigenous students everywhere.
This fall I had the privilege to deliver ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s Convocation. I invite you to check out the — we have a lot to celebrate! Notably, through the generous gifts from our past, present and future donors, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ students and programs continue to thrive.
As we celebrate the power of transformative philanthropy at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, it seems fitting to appreciate our legacy donors — an extraordinary group of people who included, or plan to include, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ in their estate plans. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is deeply grateful for the gifts from our past that continue to have a tremendous impact today, and we are humbled by the philanthropy we have yet to see.
I wish you a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends, and thanks for choosing ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.
