Dear 彩神ix官网 Faculty and Staff,

In a spirit of gratitude after a rewarding 30-year career at UAF, I have decided to retire from my position as UAF chancellor. Earlier this week, I informed President Pitney that my last day will be July 26, 2025. In the near term, I will retain my affiliation with UAF through my faculty position in civil engineering.

I am so thankful to the many UAF employees, alumni and affiliates who have given me opportunity, advice, support, and mentorship. UAF is such an amazing institution and I appreciate the joy the institution has brought to my life.听

Today, like times in the past, the 彩神ix官网 faces uncertainty. There is also a great deal of opportunity within reach! UAF has an outstanding core of leadership, a growing collection of emerging leaders, strong and growing enrollment, state support for our run to R1, and a wide range of expertise that will serve the state, nation, and world well into the future. The university has choices to make, but those choices will be made wisely by a very thoughtful, strategic, and experienced leadership core, President Pitney, and the Board of Regents who are well-aligned and well-positioned to support the university. Thank you so much to those who have given your time, talent, and treasure to UAF. It is worthy of your support.听

I look forward to conversations with many of you in the coming months as an opportunity to express my thanks to you for your positive impact on UAF and on my life. I have expressed a few of my personal thoughts in my Friday Focus that will be in this afternoon鈥檚 Cornerstone.

Thank you and thanks for choosing UAF!

Dan White, chancellor
