Earlier this week the university announced that my working title would change from
UAF executive officer to chief of staff (CoS). This shift has no impact on my role,
duties, or direct reports, but it does make it easier for stakeholders inside and
outside the organization to understand what my position does for our UAF community.
With the chance to write this week's Friday Focus, I want to expand on this shift
and provide the campus community with a look inside my role. If stakeholders don't
understand what my position does for the university then they may miss an opportunity
to benefit from the services I can provide them.
The Alaska Nanooks volleyball team and UAF athletic director Brock Anundson have announced
a four-year contract extension for head coach Brian Scott. Scott is currently entering
his eighth year as the head coach of the Nanooks' volleyball program, first taking
over in 2015.

Harry Potter Lake did not die quietly. Water in the basin on Alaska's North Slope
cut through a 30-foot strip of tundra in early July 2022. The lake then roared into
a creek.
