John Mitsuru Ebisu ’69, ’79 dedicated a portion of his estate to support civil engineering students at UAF. Ebisu wanted to give back to the university that provided him with a remarkable education and to assist others in obtaining the same. Engineering students will benefit from Ebisu’s generosity in perpetuity—currently the endowment provides them with roughly $8,400 per year.

UAF now has more than 80 living members in the UAF Cornerstone Legacy Society—a recognition program for those who have included UAF in their estate plans. While this support has not yet taken place, the generosity of these benefactors will be seen far into the future.
