Melissa Brown

I've been with the Applied Business and Accounting Department at UAF since 1999 and can't believe I get paid to do something I enjoy so much.

When I'm not working, I'm usually with my family. I consider play just as important as work and we've found that Alaska is pretty great place for boating, fishing, and snowmachining with friends.

While I love being in the classroom, I've become very excited about teaching web-based courses. If you've set the goal of pursuing a college degree, but also have the demands of working or raising a family, taking classes online may be for you. If this is the case, please send an email or give me a call and we'll get you started!

A professor at UAF in Applied Business and Accounting by day, and an entrepreneur by night, I have also served as the University's Statewide Personnel Manager, Director of Admissions, and Director of the Small Business Development Center - looks to me like I have a hard time holding a job….   I'm certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resource Management and licensed by Franklin Covey as a time management instructor. Anyone who knows me will attest that I am certainly certifiable. I've won the College of Rural Alaska's Nancy Mendenhall Award, last year the UAF student body named me Faculty of the Year, and this year I won the Usibelli Distinguished Teaching Award…. Despite repeated requests by students and administration, I haven't yet given back those awards…. After spending 4 years as a sophomore at the University of Hawaii majoring in the academic discipline of surfing, that University strongly recommended Aloha to me and I

moved to Alaska where, on the 12 year plan, I - somehow - finished college, settled down, bought a motorcycle, took up racket ball - and got tennis elbow. I've been married to my wife for 27 years, have two adopted children who are now 16 and 18 - and rumor has it that my wife, Marylee is being nominated for Sainthood by all who know me and our kids.
