Minnie Naylor was named director of the University of ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Fairbanks Chukchi Campus in Kotzebue effective July 2.

Naylor has worked for ²ÝÁñÉçÇø for nine years and most recently served as interim director of the Chukchi Campus, part of ²ÝÁñÉçÇø’s College of Rural and Community Development.

Naylor grew up in Kotzebue with guidance from her elders and community, and she holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in rural development from ²ÝÁñÉçÇø. She hopes to be a driving force to develop leaders in her community and create opportunities to complete higher education in the region. 

As director, Naylor will lead the Chukchi Campus team in their mission — to be a responsive and collaborative campus that inspires and develops each student to contribute to their community’s cultural and civic needs. 

Chukchi Campus is a public, federally designated ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Native-serving institution. It offers two-year degree programs, as well as ways for students to complete bachelor’s degrees through distance-delivered courses and programs from the University of ²ÝÁñÉçÇø system
