The sun is out and the end of FY23 is nearing! Things are always bustling at the end
of each fiscal year as fiscal staff are working round the clock to close out accounts,
create budgets for the new fiscal year, and clean up any last-minute financial pieces
that support staff, faculty, and students. Meanwhile, most students are on a break
exploring what life has to offer while our student athletes enjoy some time off from
their busy seasons. Faculty are teaching summer courses, doing community outreach,
and conducting cutting-edge research from here at Troth Yeddha' campus to Antarctica.
Administrators and other staff are planning for the upcoming fiscal/academic year
and working hard on all of the things that make UAF an amazing university and a place
of belonging. With the business of fiscal year-end, I wanted to take a minute and
thank all the staff, faculty and students for all you do.
 The Alaska Native Language Center's film "Awake" has won a Northwest Regional Emmy through the National Academy of Television Arts
and Sciences. The film, produced by Channel Films in fall 2022, captures the past,
present and future of language revitalization. It won in the long-form branded content
category.
After more than a month apart, Gretel and Shackleton began their reunion with a slow
dance. The autonomous underwater vehicles circled each other in the Gulf of Alaska
in April, gathering data about ocean conditions: temperature, light, salinity, chlorophyll,
fluorescence, and even acoustically determined densities of fish and zooplankton.

What's happening today
Deadlines and reminders
Whether they take place in the workplace or in one’s personal life, conflicts are
inevitable; however, that does not mean that they must always be damaging. When emotions
are understood and reason is used to handle conflict, the result can actually be strengthened
relationships rather than damaged ones. This workshop on Friday, June 16 from 11 a.m.
to noon discusses how you can replace pure emotion with rational decision-making when
dealing with conflict. Visit myUA for more info and to sign up to attend this ComPsych webinar.
 The University of Alaska Fairbanks Oral History Program and the National Park Service
have created a series of web articles to highlight World Ocean Day. "Conversations
About Change" focus on changing ice and ocean conditions and other climate change
impacts seen by long-term residents and NPS Alaska Region employees in the coastal
communities of Skagway and Nome. The articles are available on the NPS website, and the oral history recordings can be heard on the Project Jukebox website.
