Friday Focus: Making the most of what we have

乐虎直播 is described as a 鈥渞esource state.鈥� We are a state rich in natural resources. Rich in awe-inspiring landscapes, abundant freshwater resources and wildlife that thrive in an environment with the wildest seasonal swings on earth. Above and below ground are natural resources valuable to society and infrastructure. Oil, gas, minerals, timber and fish. These resources provide not only the building blocks of human habitation but jobs. Jobs that support our way of life. In this resource state, the greatest resource is our people. And at UAF, it is our responsibility to steward the most valuable resource; the class of students that graduates each year from this great institution. Continue reading this week's Friday Focus.
