ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ

Welcome

Welcome to the University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Fairbanks. It is my honor to serve as the ninth chancellor of the university in its 100 year history. Founded in 1917, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ has grown to become the global leader in Arctic research, and a university known for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Native and Indigenous studies. As a Land, Sea, Space and Air grant university, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ fills a state and national need for research, teaching, service and outreach.

Unlike most research universities, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ is proud to house a complete community and technical college that serves students who desire occupational endorsements, certificates and associate degrees. Truly, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ is one of the few universities in the world where one can start with a 9-credit occupational endorsement and finish with a Ph.D.

ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ is proud of our rural campuses, four of which serve communities that cannot be reached by road. These campuses are integral parts of their communities and serve many students for whom a ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ education is the first college degree in the family.

I thank you for taking the time visit ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ on the web. I encourage you to learn more, take a tour, enroll in a class, participate in an event or engage with one of our more than 3,000 employees or more than 9,000 students who are making a difference for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ and the world.
