<b>Updated vision for UAA Alumni Relations includes higher campus profile and comfortable networking space</b></h2>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Posted Feb. 25, 2013)</span><br />
<i>(UAA
Alumni Relations is participating in the UAA Master Plan 2012 effort to
ensure that alumni concerns are addressed in the new Master Plan.
Recent work in Alumni Relations has resulted in an elevated and updated
profile for alumni on campus. Here is their latest report, which relates
to planning for space on campus.)</i><br />
<br />
UAA can proudly celebrate 43,000 alumni, with 65 percent of them working in Anchorage or Alaska. <br />
<br />
Recognizing
the power and influence of such an army of successful Seawolves, UAA
has spent that last 18 months analyzing its alumni relations effort and
preparing to nurture a strong and vital future with its alumni. <br />
<br />
In October 2011, UAA engaged consultant Dan White of <a href="http://eadvancement.org/" target="_blank">eAdvancement</a> to evaluate its alumni relations program and develop strategies to increase alumni participation and support. <br />
<br />
In
December 2011 Chancellor Tom Case created a task force to study alumni
challenges and opportunities. The task force delivered a report in June
2012. <br />
<br />
Three recommendations emerged from both official
UAA reports that relate specifically to the campus’s current master
planning effort. They are:<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Needed</b>: Higher profile and easier way finding for the UAA Alumni Relations Office on campus.</li>
<li><b>Needed</b>: A comfortable gathering space for alumni to meet and network with professors, students and other alumni while on campus.</li>
<li><b>Needed</b>: Attractive display of UAA history and memorabilia in
this space to document UAA’s remarkable momentum and growth through the
past 50 years.</li>
</ol>

<br />
Excellence in scholarship and high quality service are two values the University of Alaska Anchorage holds most dear. All of our work together as Alaskans, for Alaska is driven by our ambition and commitment to continually raise the bar of quality and excellence, to respond to the needs of our state and its communities, to provide all
Alaskans access to our programs, and to be accountable for good stewardship of our resources.
<br />
<br />Our commitment to these values has served Alaska well. The University of Alaska Anchorage boasts many remarkable achievements during this, its fiftieth anniversary year. Among them are beautiful university campuses, many new buildings, numerous new and expanded academic programs, and increasing numbers of students who are making UAA their university of first choice. UAA’s first students attended the Anchorage Community College in 1954 when the first classes were held at West Anchorage High School. Faculty scavenged for office and classroom equipment but willingly faced each new challenge with resolute commitment to greater possibilities. From these humble beginnings, UAA has become a University of First Choice for the majority of Alaska’s best and brightest students.
While it is tempting to sit back and enjoy the warm glow of our past achievements, it has never been more important that we plan the future of our university. UAA holds in its keeping the promises of tomorrow for our community, our state, and our children. The attached Master Plan is a culmination of our efforts to ensure that UAA continues to provide Alaska a University of First Choice, one of quality and excellence that will serve its citizens well into the 21st Century.
Our planning strategy embraced five basic goals:
1) Make UAA a model for other northern university campuses;
2) Accommodate and integrate substantial growth;
3) Build quality facilities appropriate to the university that meets exacting demands and relevant state needs;
4) Celebrate the natural setting of each campus; and
5) Build a community of neighbors.
I am pleased to relate that the comprehensive and inclusive planning process that produced the following plan has met these goals and provides a valuable blueprint for UAA’s continued growth and development. It is now up to all of us who support the university to work toward populating the plan with the various programs and facilities
that will bring Alaska prosperity in the first quarter of this new and exciting century.FEEDBACKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04994361704947227382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504792337540043711.post-19574049971513212782012-11-10T17:48:00.000-08:002012-11-12T19:20:56.647-08:00UAA Strategic Plan 2017<a href="https://ecihyer.box.com/s/x8nqa5j2q95f42w44wj5" target="_blank">Read online or download a 12-page PDF of the UAA Strategic Plan 2017</a>. <br />

<br />
Welcome to the UAA’s Campus Facilities Master Plan 2009. The UAA Master Plan is a living document; it is our guide for how, where and why we expand the UAA campus. It’s about how people move about campus and how people see the campus. It has to be flexible enough to support changes in our strategic and academic plans yet disciplined enough to respect the sense of place UAA is and not allow expedient decisions that are inconsistent with the plan.<br />

</tbody></table>
UAA’s 10-year horizon is bright with opportunity and growth. As we grow to meet the demands of the State’s workforce we must do so sustainably, in harmony with our master plan and in cooperation with our U-MED and community partners.<br />
<br />
Our 2009 Master Plan is the product of past planning’s guiding principles and objectives, current strategic and academic plans and many conversations and discussions carried on across the university and the Board of Regents and the community since the 2004 Plan was inked.<br />
<br />
This edition of the Campus Facilities Master Plan replaces that which was approved by the Board of Regents in 2004. This new edition was necessitated by a number of physical and organizational changes which are listed in the Introduction. The contents have been updated throughout, and reordered to conform more closely with the twelve elements of the Board of Regents criteria for master plan adoption, which are also listed in the Introduction.

This plan is the product of efforts begun in 1987 and culminating in 1990 with the formal approval of the University of Alaska Board of Regents. Through many sessions over many months, UAA faculty, staff, students and administrators worked with representatives of neighboring institutions, the municipal government and the community at large.<br />
<br />
The resulting plan brings together facts, analyses and projections about land use, facilities use and needs, traffic circulation patterns, outdoor space management and utilities requirements for the Anchorage campus. Based on this information, recommendations are made in this plan which address the context within which UAA operates and the need for and attributes of a continuous master planning process.<br />
<br />
This master plan sets forth goals and objectives which will serve future planners in both the short and long terms, independent of the rate of institutional growth. Thus, it establishes a framework for planning the development of the Anchorage campus in a rational, orderly way, while incorporating flexible approaches to ensure lasting utility across a wide range of changing circumstances.<br />
