Dear staff and faculty,Ìý
Earlier today, UA President Pat Pitney sent out a message to the UA community outlining
a change in COVID-19 vaccination requirements for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. This is a positive step to
preserve our ability to receive federal funds, thus protecting ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ’s research enterprise.
This step is also one that will help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Ìý
The President is instituting a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for all ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ employees
at the Troth Yeddha’ Campus (Fairbanks), as well as ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ employees in research units
outside Fairbanks, including student employees. Later today, all ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ employees will
receive an email from UA HR with additional information, including the process to
verify vaccination or request exemptions.
Please visit the to find out where you can get vaccinated. If you have already received the COVID-19
vaccination, I encourage you to get your booster .
Thanks for staying safe, and thanks for choosing ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ.Ìý
— Dan White, chancellor
