6 feet away from other people. Find more about the community levels and what they
mean for UAF operations on the UAF COVID-19 dashboard.

What's happening today
Deadlines and reminders
A new paper published in Science Advances synthesizes the impact of metal and coal mines on salmon and trout in northwestern
North America, and highlights the need for more complete and transparent science to
inform mining policy. It is the first comprehensive effort by an interdisciplinary group of experts that
explicitly links mining policy to current understanding of watershed ecology and salmonid
biology.
Three candidates for dean of the College of Business and School of Management will
have campus visits in late July. The candidates are Michael Fronmueller, a professor
of strategic and international management at the University of Wisconsin River Falls;
Professor Saurav Dutta, who has held faculty positions at Curtin University, State
University of New York, City University of New York and Rutgers University; and Cameron
Carlson, associate dean for CBSM at UAF.
