UA President's Medal for Excellence
The President's Medal for Excellence is new, developed in 2000, but it is very much rooted in the history of the University of Alaska. UA President Mark R. Hamilton wanted to honor a few distinguished citizens who have through time consistently exhibited their unwavering support and dedication toward the University of Alaska. Their contributions, whether personal, professional or financial, helped to mold a growing and developing university system.
|
The Medal for Excellence, modeled after a medallion wore by the UAF Chancellor during commencment ceremonies, was created by local Fairbanks artist Judy Gumm. The pattern on the medal is the University of Alaska seal.
