Friday Focus: Valuing the institution
October 27, 2023
How do we measure success? When I look at ÐÔÓûÉç's inspiring vision statement, excellence through transformative experiences, I have the answer (or at least the goal.) We are successful when our students, investors, grantors, donors, and community members have transformative experiences. What is less clear is how to measure this success. The Board of Regents and President Pitney have been working together and with university leaders on what goals and metrics should look like systemwide. That process has caused me to think a lot about how we measure transformative experiences.

Friday Focus: ORCA - Your collaborative ally
October 20, 2023
As I look out across the Alaskan landscape, there’s no denying a change of season is happening. In this moment, I contemplate the concept of change itself. Change often ushers in a wave of emotions: fear of the unknown, moments of doubt, anticipation for what lies ahead, and sometimes, a sense of loss for what once was. Typically, it's a blend of these emotions and thoughts that color our perception of change. At the Office of Rights, Compliance, and Accountability, we are steadfast in our commitment to embracing change and understanding its implications for our team and the broader campus community.
