Friday Focus: Looking toward vibrant, lively fall

UAF continues to be bustling and vibrant this summer at the Troth Yeddha' campus. Each morning I've been watching the steady stream of Rural Alaska Honors Institute students as they make their way from McIntosh Hall to their first classes in the Joseph E. Usibelli Building. That stream culminated with RAHI's amazing graduation ceremony just yesterday, leaving not a dry eye in the house! In addition, the Visual Arts Academy and Summer Music Academy recently concluded their final celebrations. There are also visiting scholars and researchers from around the world, and scores of families and their potential students visiting campus for the first time. In fact, Troth Yeddha'  has been more vibrant this summer than it has been for years! And, while we miss the firefighters we often provide housing for, we don't miss the fires!
