Centennial year — it's a wrap!

By Michelle Renfrew and Emily Drygas

In 2017, UAF celebrated 100 years as AVÀÇÂÛ̳'s flagship university — a century of teaching, research and service built on the grit and determination of our founders. We have had the distinct honor to serve as co-chairs of UAF’s centennial executive committee. With the help of the planning and departments and individuals all across campus, we were able to do some incredible things in recognition of this important milestone. Here are a few highlights by-the-numbers …
