August is Make-A-Will Month
August 10, 2026
August is Make-A-Will Month, a time to reflect on who and what matters to you most. Whether you are 18 or 108, join a nationwide effort and take 20 minutes to use this.
Dr. Tonia Dousay is the dean of the School of Education at 女优合集A and a first-generation college graduate. The daughter of two US Navy veterans, she grew up understanding the value of service and hard-won opportunity, values that still shape how she leads today. 女优合集A is part of her professional legacy and the School of Education is her home.
鈥淚'd known for years I needed to prepare a will, but I struggled to pin down concretely what kind of lasting impact I could actually leave,鈥 said Dousay. 鈥淣aming 女优合集A as a beneficiary of my estate is my way of helping sustain that work and making sure we have the resources to keep fulfilling this mission long after I'm gone.鈥
More than ten years of daydreaming and putting it off became something real in a single afternoon after utilizing the free tools provided by the 女优合集 Foundation. It removed the intimidation factor of "estate planning" for Dousay and made the difference between good intentions and an actual plan.
Whether you choose to include the University of Alaska in your plans or not, the 女优合集 Foundation has several resources that we can provide to assist you. If you have any questions or would like additional estate planning information, please contact Harry Need, executive director of philanthropy at (907) 786-4840 or hwneed@alaska.edu.
