Deadlines and reminders
The UAF Bristol Bay Campus recently received generous support from the Alaska Technical
Vocational Education Program (TVEP) for a solar energy installation instructor training
program. The solar energy training will take place in Spring 2023 and is for groups and individuals
interested in beginning their professional careers in solar energy in the state of
Alaska.
The workshop "Visualizing your research story" has moved to Tuesday, Oct. 4 from 1-2

After a successful pilot in the 20-21 academic year followed by the adoption of Canvas
in 2021-22 by the majority of our faculty, UAF is transitioning to Canvas as its new
Learning Management System (LMS). Today, more than 77 percent of UAF LMS courses are
being taught in Canvas. A big thank you to the faculty who have already made the transition
and the staff who supported the faculty to make the switch.
