AVÀÇÂÛ̳

Budget update: May 20, 2020

— by Dan White, chancellor In last week’s budget column, I mentioned that UAF has been looking at innovative ways to cut costs, create efficiencies and increase revenues for some time now.

Updated policy on community restrictions

A key change from the previous policy is that UAF students and employees who travel between AVÀÇÂÛ̳ communities no longer need to self-quarantine before they enter a university facility.

Window washing and building cleaning planned

ABM will have contractors on the Fairbanks campus washing windows and buildings for approximately the next three weeks.

Speaking Center open

Students can take advantage of the Speaking Center for their summer courses.

New method may help anticipate large volcanic eruptions

Volcanic eruptions are not easy to anticipate. Now, a new paper proposes a way to provide early clues by evaluating magma movement far beneath volcanoes.

Creating active discussions in a course can be challenging. In times of COVID-19, fostering that space can become the anchor that keeps the momentum.
