About the UAF Tanana Valley Campus
Mission Statement
"TVC is Alaska's quality choice for career and technical education,
academic preparation, and lifelong learning. TVC's core purpose is
community-driven education built on values of academic excellence,
student empowerment, innovation, flexibility, and community
collaboration."
From the Director
UAF's Tanana Valley Campus is all about community-driven education, serving the needs of students in the greater Fairbanks area and beyond.
At TVC we focus on workforce development, academic preparation, and lifelong learning. Our programs prepare students for employment in fields as diverse as allied health, process technology, diesel technology, welding, applied business, culinary arts, and information technology.
TVC welcomes non-traditional students; those returning to college after many years, those seeking new tools for the workplace, those with family and work obligations that make full time study impossible. No matter what your circumstances, we're here to serve you.
TVC's Student Assistance and Academic Advising Center provides nearly all the services you'd find at UAF's main campus; from advising to fee payment to tutoring and educational support. It's a student-friendly place where you'll always get personalized service.
TVC's success is based on active community partnerships. Our Community Advisory Council, made up of leaders in business, industry, labor, and non-profits, advises us regularly about employer needs, instructional quality, and emerging employment trends. We're partnered with major community employers like Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, Fort Knox Mine, Fairbanks Native Association, and with union apprenticeship programs. They help us ensure delivery of quality education and training that you expect.
As part of UAF's College of Rural and Community Development, we also partner with sister campuses all over Alaska in making the most of our resources and serving the diverse needs of the Great Land.
As a longtime Alaskan and a UAF alumnus myself, I feel privileged to serve as TVC's director and to work with a terrific faculty and staff. Let me know what you think about TVC's exciting array of courses and programs. When it comes to meeting educational goals, your success is our success. That's what community-driven education is all about!
Rick Caulfield, TVC Director
