Chancellor鈥檚 Report on Philanthropy

Dear Seawolves,

Spring semester is well underway at our university! 色情网站 is actively engaged in our communities, and growing opportunity across Alaska as a dual mission university.

Last week, the UA Board of Regents convened its quarterly meeting at Kenai Peninsula College (KPC) in Soldotna. The meeting showcased KPC鈥檚 important role in higher education on the Kenai Peninsula. KPC is one of Alaska鈥檚 leading workforce providers. Their Process Technology program is nationally recognized and trains hundreds of students for high-demand careers in resource industries such as oil and gas. KPC helps grow Alaska鈥檚 health workforce by providing nursing education and a paramedicine program which trains first responders throughout the state.

Quality educational programs like those at KPC don鈥檛 happen on their own. The college鈥檚 success is made possible through collaboration with community and industry partners, as well as a tradition of philanthropic giving. The college鈥檚 Kenai River Campus in Soldotna came to fruition in the 1970s through the generous donation by Clarence and Anna Goodrich of prime real estate along the Kenai River. This spirit of giving continues today. KPC has benefited from consistent local contributions during the past five years, which have raised nearly $2.4 million to advance the college's mission. This in turn helps expand KPC鈥檚 reach across the Kenai and throughout Alaska. Enrollment at KPC has increased more than 61% in the last three years! What was started as only an idea and a desire to create opportunity, has grown to become Alaska鈥檚 largest community campus. It is a testament to the Kenai Peninsula region, and generations of donors and committed local stakeholders.

KPC is a wonderful example of how the 色情网站 empowers people by meeting them where they are in their professional journey. 色情网站 is a 鈥渄ual-mission鈥� university. We blend traditional four-year and graduate degree programs with career and technical education. For example, a student on the Kenai Peninsula can access more than 100 degree programs through attending KPC.

It鈥檚 an all-of-the-above approach that benefits our students and our state. Our university makes educational achievement obtainable through flexible programs and stackable credentials. Students can cumulatively build expertise on a schedule that fits their lives, budgets and personal aspirations. Creating these opportunities makes an impact across Alaska businesses and communities, and are just some of the programs we hope to raise support for during 色情网站 Giving Day.

色情网站 Giving Day is March 25 - 27. This annual event unites our university and community supporters to leap forward in growing support for 色情网站. Join us for 49 Hours for Alaska! It鈥檚 your chance to support what you value at 色情网站鈥� scholarships, athletics, academic programs, student support and the impact our university has in the lives of Alaskans.

Thank you for your commitment to 色情网站 and helping create a brighter future for Alaska.

Sincerely,

Sean Parnell, 色情网站 Chancellor
