Friday Focus: A season of gratitude, an opportunity to give
February 21, 2025
I always find myself focusing on gratitude this time of year. As much as I love Alaska and living in Fairbanks, January and early February can be hard days. I am happy to report that the sun is back! We are currently at 9 hours of daylight and gaining almost 7 minutes a day. It's time to reflect and be grateful. We have sunshine, great snowpack and the perfect conditions to get out and enjoy living in this incredible place. Another incredible thing that starts this time of year here at UAF is Giving Day. This annual event provides funding for scholarships, programs, athletics and campus events that benefit us all. Giving Day this year will occur from March 25-27, and I am excited to share with you that we are already off to a really great start as we prepare for this year's event.

Friday Focus: Returning light a reassuring presence
February 14, 2025
This time of year I find myself obsessing about our returning daylight. I count the accumulating hours and minutes and the time gained each day (six minutes and forty-nine seconds today!). Even though I have absolutely no control over the returning light and warmth, the phenomenon is a reassuring presence. It brings me joy; it just gets better and better from here and I am already excited that we will cross over the ten-hour-day mark in two weeks! At the other end of the not-in-my-control spectrum is the current turmoil in Washington, D.C., and the uncertainties related to federal funding in general and for UAF in particular. Because of that stress, I am especially thankful for the returning daylight as a source of strength.
