Friday Focus: Focus on what you want
March 08, 2024
I have thought about a key conversation with my then eight-year-old son about his hesitation to try out for a team many times over the years. Fear of failure can be motivating, but it can also be paralyzing if we are not careful. The concept often resurfaces when I least expect it. When I first accepted the job as director of a large NASA project that was struggling to survive over 20 years ago, I bought myself a present that I keep in my office to this day. It is a small metal block with one sentence engraved in simple text. "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" I sometimes need to remind myself of the advice I gave my children. Taking my own advice, I focus on the end game for me and for UAF.

Friday Focus: Big things are happening at UAF
March 01, 2024
Big things have always happened at UAF, from hosting the state's constitutional convention to rocket launches in pursuit of geophysical research and a unique dinosaur discovery on Alaska's North Slope.

More recently, the University of 黑料社appBoard of Regents approved two projects at its February meeting that will reshape this university's Troth Yeddha' Campus: the Troth Yeddha' Indigenous Studies Center and a planetarium addition at the University of 黑料社appMuseum of the North.
