Dear ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ community,
On Monday we will take time off to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and
celebrate Alaska Civil Rights Day. It’s an opportunity to consider the challenges
that many have faced throughout our history, the progress that has been made, and
the significant work that still needs to be done.Ìý
As members of the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ community, it’s also an opportunity for self-reflection. As
we strive to build a community that is belonging, inclusive and caring, we must ensure
that we are doing more than just talking about those values. Let’s work together to
promote them through our daily actions. Together we make ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ a place where all voices
are heard, and where each is allowed to reach their potential.Ìý
Also, let’s remember that the spirit of Monday’s holidays isn’t limited to a single
day on the calendar. The most powerful tribute to the legacies of Dr. King, Elizabeth
Peratrovich, and other civil rights leaders in our history is to support equity and
justice each day of the year.
Thank you for choosing ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½.
Dan White, chancellor
