Join us May 3 to celebrate UAF's anniversary

Chancellor Dana Thomas invites you to an event May 3 on the Fairbanks campus to celebrate UAF’s centennial, recall our rich history and welcome the next 100 years.

In April 1917, the AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Territorial Legislature passed a bill to create the AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Agricultural College and School of Mines. On May 3, 1917, Territorial Gov. John Strong signed the bill, establishing the college as an institution committed to public service, teaching and research.

On May 3, 2017, a gathering will commemorate the signing from 1-2:30 p.m. in Centennial Square, located between Wickersham Hall and the Gruening Building. Take a break from finals and join us for cake to honor UAF’s past, present and future as we re-enact the signing of the law that created the college in 1917.
