June is a time to celebrate! We celebrate progress and accomplishments, and honor
those who gave everything to forge a path toward inclusion of the LGBTQ2IA+ community. Keep an eye out for our weekly Pride Month Moments in Cornerstone to learn more on
how to be a supportive ally. To our amazing LGBTQ2IA+ community — we wish you the safety and space to experience authentic and unabashed joy, this
month and every month; you deserve it. UAF would not be what it is without you. Happy
Pride!

throughout Alaska.
When a Lab vacuums the ground with her nose and her tail moves like a helicopter blade,

hare has crossed your trail. All this entertainment is courtesy of that most sensitive
appendage, a dog’s nose.
