The University of Alaska Fairbanks, Community and Technical College celebrates the remarkable legacy of Michele Stalder, beloved CTC Dean, in supporting Alaska students and connecting them to vital jobs within the state.

Stalder's journey with the university began in 1981 as a program administrative clerk at the Tanana Valley Community Campus, where she embraced the community college mission of equal access to education. She was instrumental in the process of TVCC achieving accreditation, and merging with UAF to eventually become the UAF Community and Technical College. Stalder become the dean at CTC in 2010, where her commitment to the core mission of community-driven education has been unwavering.

After more than four decades of service to the university, Dean Stalder's last day was on Aug. 1. 

To continue her legacy of support for students, Stalder established the CTC Dean Michele Stalder Endowed Scholarship, which will provide assistance to students allowing them to pursue their academic goals. To make a gift, please visit https://engage.alaska.edu/uaf/ctc.
