The UAF Alumni Association is an independent nonprofit that connects and supports UAF graduates and former students. The association works closely with the University Advancement team. UAFAA offers scholarships, sponsors networking events in Alaska and the Lower 48 including the Nanook Rendezvous reunion, and advocates on behalf of the university before the state Legislature. Through the association, alumni have the opportunity for lifelong involvement with UAF and their former classmates.
