Earlier this week at lunch, I stepped out of my car in the Signers’ parking lot and just stood there, transfixed. My face was turned up with my eyes closed. The sun was so warm. My friend, Tom Hough, was with me, and he shared a word I had never heard. Apricity. It is an ancient word referring to the warmth of the winter sun. It is my new favorite word. After a long, cold winter, the sun is winning. Spring is coming. Change is coming.

The UAF College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences was recognized on Feb. 20 at the Alaska State Capitol with a legislative citation honoring its 65th anniversary. Beginning in 1960 as the legislatively mandated Institute of Marine Science, the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences was created in 1987 to unify the many academic and research programs in fisheries and ocean sciences across the University of Alaska statewide system. The transformation to the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences in 2016 was the result of continued growth in degree programs, student enrollment, faculty and staff numbers, major research efforts, and the national responsibility of operating the Global Class ice-capable research vessel Sikuliaq.

Friday Focus: Why students go to Juneau
February 19, 2026
My friend Cutter's truck flew down University Avenue with the hood practically bowed from the mountain of pallets we'd stacked in the back. For three straight weekends, a rotating crew of students drove all over Fairbanks, scavenging wood for Starvation Gulch. When the weekend finally arrived, we built a towering polar bear bonfire, which we proudly titled the Flaming Nook. Once it was lit, the night felt effortless and electric. Standing there, though, watching the flames, I kept thinking about everything people couldn't see. Most of the crowd saw a finished bonfire and a good time. They didn't see the hours of hauling, organizing, and quiet coordination that made it possible. And in a strange way, that hidden work is a small reflection of ASUAF Student Government history.
