UAS Faculty & Staff: Greetings and Welcome to the Fall Semester! - August 28, 2023

Mountain and Lake View from the Moraine Lake Trail, Juneau, 2023

Hello Everyone,

As we embark on the Fall 2023 semester, I wanted to send you a note to tell you how excited I am to be here with you! I've been in the position of Chancellor for about 2 months now and I still feel the way I did on the day that I accepted the job: This is a dream come true! I feel so grateful to have been offered the position and I'm thrilled to have found a home at UAS! Thank you for welcoming me into the UAS community and for helping me learn more about each of our amazing campuses.

The fall semester has always been very special to me. It feels a lot like a blank slate or like being in wide-open spaces, filled with possibilities. Even the wildest dreams seem achievable. The added crispness of the morning air only adds to the thrill.

I hope that your day is a fulfilling one and that your week is filled with the excitement that comes with new beginnings!

Cheers,

Dr. Aparna Palmer

Chancellor
