The UA benefits office will be scheduling on-site screenings, starting at rural campus locations beginning in May. A schedule of screenings will be announced once finalized. You must act before June 30 to earn the wellness rebate.

Photo contest
Submit photos for the 2015 calendar Staff Council calendar contest and, if selected, you will receive a print. Submissions from faculty and students are welcome, but only staff who submit photos by Monday, May 12 by 5 p.m. will be entered into the contest.

Photos should be high enough resolution to be blown up to calendar size. UAF sites are preferred. No subject will be excluded, but photos that have been best received in the past are scenic, not photos of individuals. Photos of individuals will need to have a signed model release before they can be used on the calendar.

Photo credit will be given to the photographer, but there is no compensation. Single or a few photos can be submitted by email to the Staff Appreciation Day Planning Group at UAF-Staff-Appreciation@alaska.edu.  You do not need to be present to win the prize for the photo contest.
