Save Seawolf Hockey has been renamed the Seawolf Fifth Line and is helping raise funds, market and engage in community outreach. This fundraising is key, as it can make the Seawolves more competitive and contribute to things like renovating their on-campus arena, where they now play.
“Things that you'll see happening at a larger institution. That's what we're trying to develop here. So that this doesn't ever happen again, that Seawolf hockey is sustainable,” Bethard said. “We really have seen good support from the university. Our new chancellor, Sean Parnell, is awesome. He gets it. He understands the importance of having a vibrant athletic department and especially a flagship team that's going to carry the UAA flag all over the country. Let people know that there is a university up here. We do have hockey and we have a beautiful state and a beautiful campus. Why not come here for your education?”

In an annual 49-hour fundraising event, hundreds of Alaskans donated more than $1 million to the University of Alaska’s three universities. Donations from more than 1,600 alumni, community members, corporate partners, faculty, and staff ranged from $5 to $100,000 and were designated to support specific programs, scholarship funds or research enterprises.

Talent Search is a program offering skill-building workshops, college entrance and financial literacy advising, and other academic services.
