Carey will lead UAS, which includes campuses in Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka.

Though typically a new search is conducted, the University of Alaska President, Pat Pitney, asked Carey to take over as chancellor.

“I was working away here at home and Pitney sent me an email and said she wanted to speak with me, and would I be willing to serve as chancellor in the permanent position? And I was very surprised,” Carey said.

“We’ve gone through a lot with the budget cuts and COVID and everything that’s been happening to the university over the past five or six years, and I think that she just wants to have things be stable,” Carey added.
