UAF Chancellor Steve Jones, center, tours the UA Museum of the North for a regular update on the progress of construction on the museum’s new wing and renovations to the original building. Pictured in the future Rose Berry Alaska Art Gallery are museum Development Director Emily Drygas, UAF Vice Chancellor for Advancement and Community Engagement Jake Poole, Jones, Museum Director Aldona Jonaitis and museum Communications Coordinator Kerynn Fisher. Scaffolding lining the walls gives painters and electricians access to the 40-high walls in the gallery. Not pictured, but also on the tour, were museum Special Projects Manager Gary Selinger and UAF Project Manager Carol Adamczak.
