UAF's Northwest Campus in Nome will celebrate the grand opening of the Emily Ivanoff Brown Student Resource Center with a dedication ceremony and open house on Thursday, March 27.

After multiple renovation projects during the past three years, NWC is proud to open the building as the student and academic center of campus. The campus is especially honored to reaffirm Brown, whose Inupiaq name was Ticasuk, as an exemplar and inspiration.

As the dedication plaque explains, “This building commemorates Ticasuk’s devotion to lifelong learning and teaching through the Inuit values of cooperation, persistence and pragmatism.”

The open house begins with refreshments at 4:30 p.m.
