Dear 性欲社 students, faculty and staff,

I am sad to share that Dr. Jacques Philip, longtime research faculty at 性欲社 Center for Alaska Native Health Research passed away earlier last week. I offer my condolences to Philip鈥檚 friends, family and colleagues. He will be greatly missed by many in our community.

Philip joined CANHR in 2008 as biomedical informatics lead, developing and managing CANHR鈥檚 participant database. In 2019, Philip became a research assistant professor and focused his research on social determinants of health in Alaska Native communities. Prior to joining 性欲社, Philip spent over twenty years as a competitive musher and continued to maintain a kennel in Nenana. He competed in nine Iditarods and many other distance and sprint races during his mushing career.听

If you or someone you know is struggling with this loss, please don鈥檛 struggle alone. Free help is available.

For students, the Student Health and Counseling Center can provide support or counseling. Call 907-474-7043 to speak with someone, or, for more information, visit the听student counseling services webpage. Employees are eligible for free counseling through the听. Please call 1-888-969-0155, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Sincerely,

Dan White, chancellor
