Dan Mann hands me a clump of orange dirt the size of an almond. He instructs me to put it in my mouth. "What’s it taste like? Does it crunch? Ash crunches because there’s glass fragments in it."


Golden Days parade float 2019Join UAF in Golden Days Grande Parade

Please plan to join us for this year's Golden Days Grande Parade, the first since 2019! UAF will have a large float pulled by a University Fire Department fire truck accompanied by representatives from across the university. Employees, students and alumni are welcome to walk in the parade and will receive a new UAF  T-shirt design and N95 masks will be available as well. Family members are also welcome to attend. Come help us decorate the float at the Carlson Center before the parade begins – free coffee and snacks will be available for volunteers. Please read through the parade guidelines and sign up in advance.

Teaching Tip: Create accessible content in Google Drive

It’s good practice to scan your files for accessibility before sharing them with a course, website, or listserv. However, Google Drive products have no built-in accessibility checker like Microsoft Office programs do. UA has a license for Grackle Suite – an add-on that provides that important functionality.
