Dear ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ supporter,
As we celebrate the season of gratitude, I reflect on your generosity and that of others like you who make a difference at ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ by investing in our world-class people and programs.

That evening, nearly $100,000 was donated in support of the This initiative moves ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ one step closer to the construction of what will be a center of belonging for Alaska Native and Indigenous students everywhere.
This fall I had the privilege to deliver ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½â€™s Convocation. I invite you to check out the — we have a lot to celebrate! Notably, through the generous gifts from our past, present and future donors, ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ students and programs continue to thrive.
As we celebrate the power of transformative philanthropy at ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½, it seems fitting to appreciate our legacy donors — an extraordinary group of people who included, or plan to include, ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ in their estate plans. ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ is deeply grateful for the gifts from our past that continue to have a tremendous impact today, and we are humbled by the philanthropy we have yet to see.
I wish you a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends, and thanks for choosing ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½.
