The University of Alaska is a formidable asset for the state of Alaska. A solid, balanced university system is crucial to a state’s healthy growth and development. The University of Alaska’s mission is to inspire and motivate learning and critical thinking, and to search out and disseminate a broad array of knowledge through research and teaching excellence. We must also remain in the forefront of public service. We shall continue strong emphasis on the North, its history, its native peoples and its opportunities. These are among the core competencies that enhance our mission accomplishment, and will remain top priorities.  

As a university system, the value we bring to Alaska depends on the quality of our graduates at every level. Our success in offering premier work force development, education and a world-class research opportunity will substantially drive Alaska’s future. This is a system-wide responsibility that will continue to require heavy lifting on the part of every one of us. It is a real privilege to work among you in that endeavor.

Patrick K. Gamble
President
