First National Bank Alaska cut the ceremonial ribbon and donated $89,000 to five university programs in February at its U-Med Branch in Anchorage, kicking off a month-long celebration of the opening of the first commercial bank located adjacent to the campuses of the University of Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Pacific University, and Providence Alaska Medical Center. The two-story, 6,300-square-foot branch at 3650 Piper Street begins to fill the gap in amenities on the U-Med campus by offering three drive-up lanes including a drive-up ATM, a night drop, and a kiosk in the lobby. To further demonstrate its commitment to the future of Alaska, the bank's Senior Vice President Cheri Gillian presented $89,000 to university programs. The donations included $45,000 to Alaska Pacific University and $44,000 to the University of Alaska Anchorage.
