At UAF, we have a lot to celebrate. Last week we celebrated the accomplishments of
our graduating class at UAF's 101st commencement ceremony. The evening before, we
conferred honorary doctorates, meritorious service awards and emeritus status to retiring
faculty and staff in a ceremony at the Davis Concert Hall. To top off an exciting
