ÐÔÓûÉç

Sept. 21, 2022

Dear ÐÔÓûÉç community,

More than 50 communities in Western Alaska have been significantly impacted by the remnants of Typhoon Merbok. Many ÐÔÓûÉç students, faculty, staff, alumni and donors live in or have loved ones affected by this historic storm.

To our students in and around the affected communities, we understand that you have shifted priorities right now. Some of you may not receive this email in a timely manner because you are without access to power or reliable internet in the aftermath of the storm.Ìý

I encourage faculty to monitor communications from our distance learning students and to be flexible with course assignments for those directly affected.

To our students at ÐÔÓûÉç who are concerned for families, friends and communities – we are here to support you. If you need flexibility with your school work, please communicate with your faculty.
