Welcome

We l come to

“W

hat are you doing new this year?” is a frequently asked question. Each summer, in addition to offering 250 courses, Summer Sessions & Lifelong Learning has gained a reputation for opening the doors of UAF ever wider to community members of all ages. So what is new in 2015? Gloria Steinem will be speaking on our campus June 12 in the Davis Concert Hall. New Field Photography courses, one at Coal Creek off the Yukon River plus one traveling the Noatak River, are made possible by our partnership with the National Park Service. Our Kids Day Camps are being expanded to ten different subject areas with the additions of archaeology, geology, pottery, photography, and storytelling. Last year we started a program for people who just want to learn but do not want the responsibilities of homework or exams. This year that program, called Learning Without Exams, will expand to 25+ courses. Our free weekly evening lectures and concerts will continue. Some may ask, ‘How is this possible in an era of severe budget cuts?’ We are able to do this with the generous support of Cooperative Extension Service and KUAC as well as our

community partners: Alaska Coffee Roasters, Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, Robinson and Associates, Sound Reinforcement Specialists, and Tanana Valley Clinic. If you have an opportunity, let them know how much you and your family enjoy these events. Each year we strive to make our courses and programs reflect the educational needs and desires of our community. We invite you to let us know how we can do an even better job.
