  • College of Liberal Arts Support: Strengthen CLA’s greatest opportunities for success—enhancing facilities and learning spaces, supporting scholarships and student awards, and empowering the departments and programs that help our students thrive.
  • Art Department Support: Fuel creativity and hands-on learning for the next generation of Alaska artists by providing essential tools, visiting artist experiences, student opportunities, and the resources that keep UAF’s vibrant art community growing.
  • Global Languages & Literatures: Help students open doors to the world through supporting immersive cultural learning, classroom resources, study-abroad opportunities, and scholarships that encourage global understanding and cross-cultural communication.
  • Anthropology Department Support: Advance the study of cultures, communities, and the human experience through providing opportunities for research, fieldwork, travel, scholarships, and the tools they need to explore the world—past and present.
