At UAF, we have a lot to celebrate. Last week we celebrated the accomplishments of
our graduating class at UAF's 101st commencement ceremony. The evening before, we
conferred honorary doctorates, meritorious service awards and emeritus status to retiring
faculty and staff in a ceremony at the Davis Concert Hall. To top off an exciting
week, last night we held our signature fundraiser -- the Chancellor's Blue and Gold
Celebration in the UAF Troth Yeddha' campus student union. Our community came together
to recognize the Emil Usibelli Teaching, Research and Service awardees and raise funds
to support student scholarships.
