Hold the date: UAF kicks off Arctic Day events in November
October 8, 2014
UAF will kick off a celebration of the Arctic with a talk from Alice Rogoff, publisher
of the Alaska Dispatch News. The talk will take place in the Charles Davis Concert
Hall on the Fairbanks campus at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 12.
Rogoff, whose Alaska Dispatch Publishing LLC bought the Anchorage Daily News in April, also
chairs the advisory council for the international Arctic Circle organization.
Other events on the Fairbanks campus Nov. 12–13 include a flag dedication ceremony,
poster session highlighting Arctic research, a resource fair for students and a town
hall-style presentation on the Arctic. This educational event is designed to bring
students and faculty together providing information about Arctic opportunities and
activities at UAF.
Arctic Day is sponsored by the UAF Chancellor's Office. For more information, please
