Ice Box is the undergraduate literary journal of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Published annually in the spring, it features fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, hybrid work, and artwork from current UAF undergraduate students.

Founded in 1977, Permafrost is housed at the University of Alaska Fairbanks MFA program, and run by dedicated creative writing graduate students. We publish a winter online issue as well as a spring print issue, both of which feature compelling poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction by established writers and new voices alike.

The Sun Star is a student run newspaper; by students, for students. It gives students the opportunity to get published and paid, and has engaged with Alaskan news and culture for over 70 years. The Sun Star is funded directly by the UAF student body.
