Sitka’s commencement speaker is UA’s President Mark
Hamilton
Mark R. Hamilton was appointed 12th president of the University
of Alaska System in 1998. Before that, he retired as a Major General
with the U. S. Army after 31 years of service. As Commander for
the U. S. military group in El Salvador, he was largely responsible
for negotiating, in Spanish, an end to their 12-year civil war.
In Somalia, his negotiations with warlords resulted in a window
of tranquility that enabled the removal of the U. S. 10th Division.
In Brussels, he advised the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe on
NATO planning concerning the former republic of Yugoslavia. He is
the recipient of the Distinguished Service Medal - the Army’s
highest peacetime award, and the Joint Distinguished Service Medal
- the Armed Forces’ highest peacetime award.
Mark Hamilton earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the U. S.
Military Academy at West Point and a Master’s degree in English
Literature from Florida State University.
Mark Hamilton is a dedicated public servant to Alaskans, serving
on a variety of boards including: Commissioner, Denali Commission;
Chair, Board of Directors of the Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation;
Member, Board of Directors of Alaska SeaLife Center; Chair, Alaska
Distance Education Technology Consortium; and Commissioner, Western
Interstate Commission for Higher Education. The University of Alaska
system is indebted to Mark Hamilton for his inspirational leadership.
