Shine a Light Speaker Series: Lost Alaskans, The Morningside Hospital Project

From the early 1900’s to the 1960’s thousands of Alaskans were found guilty of “insanity” and sent to Morningside Hospital in Oregon. Most families never heard from their loved ones again. Robin Renfroe has spent years researching family histories for her own family and others, which lead her on a personal journey to find her husband’s uncle who was sent to Morningside and never heard from again. Learn about ongoing research on the hospital and those admitted during an online session on Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022 from noon to 1 p.m. Please register in advance on Zoom.


A look at the 3D metal printer

3D metal printer transforms UAF machine shop's abilities

Mention 3D printing and someone is likely to think about small plastic things such as customized Lego bricks or miniature dinosaurs. 3D printing is something entirely different at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, which operates the university system’s only 3D metal printer. UAF purchased the printer in mid-2020, but it was not ready for use until this year.
