As I have noted in at least one Friday Focus column before, I was raised in a small
mining town in Colorado. Raised atop a pile of rounded river rock that was a gold
mine sometime the century before. As a kid I searched for gold missed by the miners
in the nooks and crannies of the ancient river bend. I also wandered the mountains
checking the crumbled remains of abandoned 19th century cabins for gold pokes deserted
by fate or misfortune. To no one's surprise, I never found a mason jar full of gold
nuggets beneath the old rotting logs. In my pursuit of discovery, I learned the lesson that in whatever form, gold is where
you find it.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks is moving forward with the roll out of an increase
in the minimum hourly stipend rate for graduate assistants (i.e., engagement, research
and teaching assistants) based on the review and recommendation of the UAF Graduate
School. These increases will become effective for the spring semester 2023. For further information please contact the Graduate School by phone at 907-474-7607
or e-mail.
