Join UAF’s Northwest Campus, the UAF Office of Rights, Compliance and Accountability,
and the Nanook Diversity and Action Center for this month's Shine a Light Series event
on Tuesday, Nov. 28 from noon to 2 p.m.: a special panel discussion for Native American and Alaska Native Heritage Month.
Panelists will explore what being Native/ Indigenous means to them, how various aspects
of their identity interact with one another, and the relationship between their self-perception
and how others perceive them. Please register in advance. To learn more about the panelists, visit the event page.
 We’re looking for researchers whose interests and projects overlap with our invitation
request for proposal themes and focuses. Center ICE is supporting up to five awards
of $15,000 each for research projects focused on impact. All awardees also participate
in the I-Corps Program and receive $4,500 in travel funding to support your stakeholder
discovery. Nov. 27 is the deadline to apply. Learn more about the program.
With November being Native American Heritage Month it's important we recognize the
signs of human trafficking and the statistics that represent this population and how
you can be a part of spreading awareness. Learn more information and where to find more resources.
Since 2016, the Biomedical Learning and Student Training program at UAF has highlighted
scientists from all biomedical fields through its Scientist of the Month articles.
BLaST Scholar and UAF biology undergraduate student Sarah Dempsey was selected as
the November 2023 BLaST Scientist of the Month. Learn more about Dempsey's work.
Exercise can help when end-of-semester stress hits! Exercise can be a natural mode
booster, increase focus, and help reduce the impact of stress. Whether going for a
walk, hitting the gym, or taking part in one of the group fitness sessions at the
SRC, make sure to take some time to get active. Learn more about upcoming fitness sessions.
Over the past year, some UAF faculty have been piloting microcredentials in their
courses. As this initiative continues to grow in popularity, you may have a class
that gives you the opportunity to earn a microcredential. However, there can be a
lot of confusion when it comes to what they are, their value, and how to use them.
