On Dec. 11, our Facilities and Campus Services team was made aware of a pothole that shut down the westbound lanes of Northern Lights Boulevard between UAA Drive and Career Center Drive. It has since been upgraded to a sinkhole, and the lanes will remain closed for an undetermined amount of time while crews repair the damage. We anticipate the closure will extend through the week.
Finals week is a very stressful time for students. Students, please know that your professors have been made aware of the situation. Please communicate with them any delays you may experience due to this issue. We know this is an unexpected traffic challenge. Please take a deep breath. We want you to have a smooth and safe finals week.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPORT
Scholarships and Fellowships
One of the highest priorities of the College of Engineering is to offer more scholarships
to attract and retain the most talented students and help them graduate on time.
Excellence in Engineering
The Excellent in Engineering fund provides the college with valuable unrestricted
funding to allocate resources to the areas of greatest need. Areas that may benefit
from this fund include student projects, competitions, purchase of equipment for hands-on
education and research, K-12 STEM outreach and activities to ensure student and faculty
success.
Research/Faculty Support
Support for world-class faculty and research is essential to achieving our goal of
making UAA a globally prominent engineering research and education institution. Funding
in this area may be directed to startup funds for new faculty, named professorships
or chairs or publically distributed research.
Facilities Support
The State of Alaska provided funding for construction of the Engineering & Industry
Building, but private support is needed from donors to outfit the new and revitalized
building with state-of-the-art equipment for teaching and research. In recognition
of generous gifts to the College of Engineering, we are pleased to offer the opportunity
to name labs and classrooms in honor of individual donors and industry partners.
DONATIONS AT ALL LEVELS ARE GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED AND RECOGNIZED
For information about how you can get involved, contact Jayna Combs, senior development officer for the College of Engineering. Outright cash gifts, in-kind donations of equipment, multi-year pledges, gifts of assets and planned gifts may be used to provide support. Companies paying taxes in the state of Alaska may qualify for an education tax credit.
