Contact your legislator
We encourage you to lend your voice to our effort to support critical investment in the University of Alaska. You are most effective when you communicate the personal reasons you support funding the university.
Share with lawmakers why the university matters to you, your family, and your community. If you鈥檙e wondering what to say, you can start by thanking legislators for their work and their support of the University of Alaska.
When communicating with legislators, please do so on your personal time such as during lunch or after work, and avoid using your university email.
