Looking for ways to support a culture of education in Alaska?
Our Alaskan legislators are currently grappling with the state’s fiscal values and considering policies affecting education at all levels. Your can help to ensure that they remember the university’s importance to the state’s future. Please add your voice to this effort.
Who do I contact?

Your legislator: Legislators do pay attention to their constituents. With long days and difficult work, a personal postcard or phone call from a neighbor back home is often welcomed by a legislator. It is this personal touch that can raise your voice above the special interests.
Not sure who your legislator's are: check state maps or contact us.
