University of Alaska Fairbanks
The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) was created in 1917 by a special act of the Alaska Territorial Legislature. With this, plus a land grant from the U.S. Congress, the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines opened in 1922 with six faculty members and six students. World Was II, statehood and the discovery of oil at Prudhoe Bay have each affected this Land, Sea and Space Grant university’s development. Responding to state and national needs remains a top UAF priority.

In addition to the Fairbanks campus, UAF’s six rural community campuses are central to fulfilling UAF’s mission of providing educational opportunities throughout the state.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks was created nearly a century ago to help Alaskans meet the unique challenges of living in the Far North. UAF will continue to serve the state and the nation for the next 100 years and beyond. Visit UAF on the web at: http://www.uaf.edu.
