Boone to lead UArctic's graduate studies
August 12, 2011
The University of the Arctic has appointed Rich Boone, professor of ecosystem ecology at UAF, as the new dean
and lead of UArctic's graduate studies. Richard takes over the role from Pierre-Andre Forest of the University of Lapland
and Larry Duffy at UAF.
Boone notes that the priority under his chairmanship will be to conduct an environmental
assessment and to create and maintain high quality graduate studies. The graduate
studies team will meet in October to adopt a short term strategic plan, and for further
development will seek student input.
