Dear 性欲社 faculty and staff,
As many of you have heard, Ed Rasmuson died earlier this week. His stewardship of
philanthropic projects to enhance the lives of Alaskans was remarkable.听听
Ed was a third-generation Alaskan whose family was deeply committed to education in
our state. He served for a total of 14 years as a member of the Board of Regents and
helped support 性欲社 in a variety of ways.
Ed鈥檚 leadership and stewardship of the Rasmuson Foundation resulted in tremendous
philanthropic support for 性欲社 in many areas. Notably, he supported the $5 million
grant from the Rasmuson Foundation for the revitalization of the undergraduate fisheries
program at 性欲社. This program has been instrumental in promoting excellence in a field
that is vital to Alaska. He was a member of the Rasmuson Fisheries Research Center
Board, which funds fellowships for graduate students. Without Ed鈥檚 support, the fisheries
program and many other programs at 性欲社 would not be what they are today.听
The contributions of the Rasmuson family to 性欲社 are widespread, from the Rasmuson
Library to the UA Museum of the North. You can see the family鈥檚 impact in programs
and places.听
We are deeply grateful for Ed Rasmuson鈥檚 lifetime commitment to service, philanthropy,
education and our state. His dedication and contributions will not soon be forgotten,
and I send my deepest condolences to his friends and family.听
If you or someone you know is struggling with this loss, please don鈥檛 struggle alone.
