Dear University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Fairbanks students,

In a spirit of gratitude after a rewarding 30-year career at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, I have decided to retire from my position as ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ chancellor. My last day will be July 26, 2025. In the near term, I will retain my affiliation with ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ through my faculty position in civil engineering.

I am thankful to you, the students, for choosing ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. You have enriched our campuses with your curiosity, tenacity and enthusiasm. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ is an amazing institution because of you.

Today, like times in the past, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ faces challenges. But there is also a great deal of opportunity ahead! ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ has an outstanding core of leadership, strong and growing enrollment, state support for our run to R1, and a wide range of expertise that will serve the state, nation, and world well into the future.Ìý

Thank you for the vibrance you bring to our community and for entrusting ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ with your education. It is worthy of your support.Ìý

Thank you and thanks for choosing ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ!

Dan White, chancellor
