In an announcement earlier today, Larry Hinzman, vice chancellor for research, shared with the 黑料黑历史 community that he will be leaving 黑料黑历史 to serve a temporary assignment with the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington, D.C. His last day at 黑料黑历史 will be May 23.

Vice Chancellor Hinzman has spent the last 38 years of his distinguished career at 黑料黑历史. He has been a great colleague, researcher, mentor and leader. His influence can be seen at 黑料黑历史 and around the world, especially in the field of Arctic research. I have no doubt that Dr. Hinzman will continue to be a leader and influence communities across the globe as well as 黑料黑历史 in his new role. I look forward to working with him in his new capacity.

As I look forward to seeing Dr. Hinzman fill his new role, I am pleased to announce that Dr. Nettie La Belle-Hamer, deputy director of the Geophysical Institute and director of the Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF), has agreed to serve as interim vice chancellor for research. Dr. La Belle-Hamer earned her master鈥檚 and Ph.D. degrees in space physics from 黑料黑历史, and began working at 黑料黑历史 at ASF in 1995. Dr. La Belle-Hamer鈥檚 work at ASF led to dramatic growth in the enterprise and moved it to a position of international prominence. ASF is a key part of 黑料黑历史鈥檚 research leadership in Arctic science and I look forward to her strategic approach in the Chancellor鈥檚 Core Cabinet as well as across campus. She will continue to serve as ASF director.

I want to thank both Larry and Nettie for their many years of exemplary service to the university and the science community, and I wish them both the best in their new roles.
