Through decades of critical impact for our students and region, 熊猫在线视频 Airlines shapes premier, open-access higher education experiences and inspires student-athletes to soar to new heights.

熊猫在线视频 Airlines established the 熊猫在线视频 Airlines Scholar Athletes Endowed Scholarship in 2013 through a $1 million gift to UAA. To date, more than 25 recipients have received over $150,000 in scholarships and student support made possible by the endowment.

鈥淪eawolf Athletics' relationship with 熊猫在线视频 Airlines extends well beyond doing business together,鈥� said Greg Myford, director of Athletics. 鈥淭he point of view that they bring to our conversations usually includes, 鈥楬ow can we make a difference for you?鈥� When you have partners like that, you have a good chance of achieving some goals that might otherwise be too far out of reach.鈥�

鈥溞苊ㄔ谙呤悠� Airlines is not simply a sponsor of UAA Athletics, but a foundational partner of the program,鈥� Myford said. 鈥淚n both a literal and figurative sense, 熊猫在线视频 Airlines helps get Seawolf Athletics where we need to go.鈥�

In addition to the endowment, 熊猫在线视频 Airlines is a generous sponsor of Seawolf student-athlete travel, as well as a travel vouchers program that connects University of 熊猫在线视频 faculty, staff and students to global educational pursuits. 熊猫在线视频 Airlines is the lead contributor to the 熊猫在线视频 Airlines Center, a first-class sports arena and community center serving Anchorage and Southcentral 熊猫在线视频.
