Welcome to what East Coast types call the virtual Fairbanks, Alaska, home of the Northern Studies program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. My name's Barnes. I'm the bear that founded Virtual Fairbanks, named for the founder of the real Fairbanks, and I designed this website with my own two paws (with resources from the Archives of the University of Alaska and some minor assistance by some human named Daniel). Hope you like it. Now, rather than telling you all about our program out here on the street, why don't you click your way inside one of these fine establishments, and let the folks inside show you around. Don't worry, I'm not going to abandon you to wild humans, but I'm an outdoorsy sort, and you'll mostly find me when you step outside. Still, I'll check up on you every now and again. Now, you could start at the "About Alaska" shop, to find out about the state where we do our studying. If reading about Alaska makes you want to read more, then maybe you should stop in next door to see what kind of students you'll be working with in the frozen North. You can also find information about those who run the program. Now that big storehouse in the middle, that's where we keep all the info about this program---what it's about, what we teach, and how you can sign up. Now if that gets you worked up enough, just a step to the right and you can find out about applying to the program right here on-line. And if there's something we haven't covered here, we've got an electronic post office just at the end of the street. Now, you have yourself a real good time in virtual Fairbanks---just don't you go startin' no trouble. Oh, and if you want to know about how I designed this site, who I'm named for, and what have you, then just stop in at my place. I'll get a fire going, put on a cup of joe, and we'll have a real fine time. |
