University of Alaska System

Andrew Aquino joins Office of the President

Andrew Aquino has joined the office of UA President Pat Pitney as project coordinator. Aquino was hired for the position in late March and joined the office quickly thereafter.

Aquino is a project and office manager who values connecting individuals and groups to goal-achieving resources. 

Prior to joining the University of Alaska System Office, he served as project and office manager for UAF Advancement and development director for the United Way of the Tanana Valley. 

Through his diverse work experience, Aquino knows what inspires innovation, engagement and authenticity — it’s not about solely being oneself. It’s about providing others the space to be their authentic selves. Aquino recognizes that true dialogue flows in this space, and not only turns goals into output but also naturally prompts larger goals and robust creativity.

Aquino is a member of the North Star Community Foundation and Spirit of Youth boards, and he holds a seat on the Fairbanks Diversity Council. 

Andrew Aquino was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska and holds a Bachelor of Arts in liberal arts from The Evergreen State College in media and communications.
