We learned from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs that making goals can be difficult. However,
we learn every day that working toward those goals through the daily grind is the
real challenge. To remain focused and determined through setbacks and disappointments
it takes more than just a strong belief in the goal – it takes a champion.
Join your colleagues and dig in for UAF Flower Planting Day on June 8 from 9 a.m.

win one of two hanging flower baskets. Garden trowels, plastic gloves and refreshments
will be provided.

What's on this weekend
Deadlines and reminders
The University of Alaska Board of Regents on Friday unanimously voted for formal project
approval for the Troth Yeddha' Indigenous Studies Center and Park. The regents’ approval of the $40 million project, which is slated for construction
on the University of Alaska Fairbanks Troth Yeddha’ Campus in Fairbanks, means UAF
can proceed with fundraising and schematic design.
Join UAF's Large Animal Research Station for its Annual Birthday Bash from noon-4
p.m. on June 4. The free event is open to everyone and gives the Fairbanks community an opportunity
to meet new muskox and reindeer calves. There will be children's activities, free
cookies and plenty of animals. A shuttle will run from UAF's Taku Parking Lot to LARS
during the event. Visitors are encouraged to utilize it since parking is limited at
LARS.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks Alumni Association will hold its annual reunion
weekend from July 21-23 in Fairbanks, which begins at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
