NORTHERN STUDIES STUDENT CLUB
The goals of the Northern Studies Student Organization are to:
- Make the Northern Studies Program and its students visible on campus through various events and activities
- Organize community outreach events aimed at students and faculty at the university as well as the general Fairbanks public
- Raise awareness of issues relating to the north and provide a forum for discussion and interaction
- Create a fun learning environment for NORS students and faculty to interact with each other
In April 2012, Chancellor Rogers and his wife Sherry Modrow hosted the NORS student organization at their home for a presentation of his historical Magic Lantern slides on northern themes.
