  • Workshop: Civility in the workplace

    December 16, 2024

    The prevalence and costs of incivility are on the rise in organizations.

A session on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025, from 11 a.m. to noon will help you understand why we act less civil today and give some suggestions for making sure you don’t exhibit behaviors that are uncivil.

    Friday Focus: Meet me at the ²ÝÁñÉçÇø booth under the aurora

    December 13, 2024

    For many of the business-suit types in Washington, D.C., jeans, t-shirts, and backpacks camouflage science rockstars as they scurried between sessions at the American Geophysical Union meeting this week. Every year over 25,000 geoscientists assemble to discuss their results, discover new collaborators, and learn what is happening at the cutting edge of their field. And hopefully, due to the hard work of the ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Research AGU booth committee and many others, more are enticed to join us here, in Fairbanks, as new faculty or new students. ²ÝÁñÉçÇø was well represented with more than 170 faculty, students, and staff participating in AGU24 giving roughly 180 presentations during the week. While old hat for many faculty, presenting at AGU is a rite of passage for students as they advance to their degrees.
