April 17, 2014
Academic leaders will discuss the merger of the former University of Alaska Fairbanks
School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences and the UAF Cooperative Extension
Service Thursday, April 24, from 3:40 to 5:10 p.m. in O’Neill 201.
The talk will be presented to graduate students in the Natural Resources Management

Steve Sparrow, interim dean of the school and interim director of the Agricultural
and Forestry Experiment Station, and Fred Schlutt, director of CES and vice provost
for outreach, will explain how the merger will strengthen the research, teaching and
outreach capabilities of the new unit, dubbed the School of Natural Resources and
Extension by the University of Alaska Board of Regents in February.
