Rogers interview concludes centennial speaker series
August 18, 2017
The University of Alaska Fairbanks will host a conversation with former Chancellor
Brian Rogers at 4 p.m. Aug. 27 in UAF’s Elvey Building auditorium.
The event will conclude the Centennial Celebration Speakers Series, which featured
interviews this summer with leaders who shaped UAF during its first century. Journalist
Robert Hannon will join Rogers for the conversation.
Rogers served as UAF chancellor from 2008-15, capping a long association with the
university that began as a student. A longtime Fairbanks resident and state leader,
Rogers previously served for seven years as the UA system's finance vice president,
four years in the Alaska State House and eight years as a member of the UA Board of
Regents.
The speakers series is hosted by UAF Summer Sessions and Lifelong Learning. A public
reception will follow the event.
