Here at UAF, you know that spring is here when your eyes water and you see green.
Traditionally that has been tied to pollen counts soaring along with the geese coming
back and then, pop! Green-up! That day when the trees have gone miraculously from
brown to green, seemingly overnight. Spring is here! This spring I noticed another way to view the same phenomenon by spending a week watching
freshly graduated college students achieve their dreams, walk across a stage, and
transition into a new career. For the record, I have never made it through commencement
with dry eyes and when students successfully transition the green starts flowing into their banks. Watery eyes, check. Green, check. Spring is so inspiring and renews
my faith in the education process, every single year.
 EAGLE -- As the late evening sunshine poured in from the northwest, a dozen residents
of Alaska's farthest upstream town on the Yukon River watched their winter race past.
Floating chunks of ice spun by in lazy turns, like memories of January.
