Dear UAF faculty and staff,
I was saddened to learn that John Kelley died this morning. John spent more than 40
years studying marine science at UAF and was honored with professor emeritus status
in 2010.
John dedicated much of his career to educating and mentoring students, including development
of a program to encourage AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Native undergraduates to pursue careers in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics. His work as an oceanographer focused on the
polar regions, with his ongoing research interests continuing well into his retirement
years.
If you or someone you know is struggling with this loss, please don’t struggle alone.
Free help is available.
For students, the Student Health and Counseling Center can provide support or counseling.
