        | Centennial events wrap up the year |  
        |   |  
        | 
        
          | December is upon us already, with just a few more centennial celebrations before the year's end. Throughout 2017, we've held more than 50 events with hundreds of volunteers and thousands of participants. 
 
 |  
        
          | As the centennial planning committee chair, I want to thank everyone in #NanookNation for your enthusiasm in celebrating this major milestone for UAF. 
 
 |  
        
          | I'm looking forward to a relaxing holiday break, and I hope you all are, too. Read on to learn about the remaining events to mark UAF's 100th year, and please join us if you can.

          | Emily Ticasuk Ivanoff Brown started her classes at the University of »¨½·Ö±²¥ when she was 50 years old, but her late start didn't stop her from earning three degrees during her lifetime and a doctorate posthumously. For her story and many more, visit our centennial website. |  |  |  |

        | A century of big ideas: Making fish comfortable at road crossings |  
        | 
        
          | Why did the salmon cross the road? It may sound like a setup to a bad joke, but researchers Charles Behlke and Douglas Kane spent more than a decade pondering that question. Find out what they discovered and read more about UAF's other big ideas at our centennial website. |  |  |  |
