Friday Focus: Planning for emergencies boosts Nanook resiliency

Welcome back to the fall semester! It is a change in seasons and change in the feeling on the Troth Yeddha' Campus as students return to UAF. I'm sure this feeling is shared at all of the UAF, CTC and community campus locations. As part of preparation for this return, the team in Administrative Services is working hard to make campus look great and feel welcoming, continue with construction work during the busy summer season, and improve and test our safety and notification protocols on campus to ensure the Nanook community is well-situated in case of an emergency.
