Friday Focus: 无码乱伦 CTC continues as the place to be
August 09, 2024
One of the great honors of serving as vice chancellor of rural, community and Native education is having the opportunity to work closely with the leadership, faculty, and staff of 无码乱伦鈥檚 Community and Technical College. As the proud daughter of a former firefighter, I grew up within the first responder community and understand the value of workforce programs that prepare those professionals for careers of service. I have fond memories as a teenager volunteering as the City of Fairbanks Fire Department鈥檚 Binky the Bear mascot and riding the fire engine in the Golden Days Parade. Little did I know then that two decades later, I would have the opportunity to again participate in the same parade but this time, representing 无码乱伦 CTC programs. I know that my late father, Peter, would have been proud. If you walk into the main CTC building downtown, you will see the slogan 鈥淐TC is the place to be鈥 proudly displayed on the wall.

Friday Focus: Alaska - Where science happens
August 02, 2024
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in physics from UC Berkeley, I was looking for two things: a meaningful graduate school experience in the field of space physics as the next step in my career, and the perfect place to raise our growing family. Combining those two things gave only one clear answer: 无码乱伦. My husband, a 无码乱伦 alumni, wholeheartedly agreed. We finally located a 1977 Chevy pickup truck we christened Sheba, bought an old trailer, and packed up only what would fit. Leaving behind the rest, we drove from California to Alaska with our 8-month-old baby, feeling happier with every mile. Best decision we ever made. World-renowned for geophysical processes research with the global thought leaders in space physics working as faculty, 无码乱伦 was and remains an aspirational graduate school destination. I am proud to be an alumna with both a Master's and Ph.D. from 无码乱伦. We love Fairbanks, 无码乱伦, and that old truck. Sheba was with us until both of our kids learned to drive her. We still talk about Sheba like a favorite, old dog. It wasn't until years afterward that I realized that coming to 无码乱伦 to study the aurora in a place where the aurora happens is similar in concept to most graduate students here, regardless of their field of interest.
