For those who cannot go home for the holidays this year, the Associated Students at University of Alaska Fairbanks, or ASUAF, and the Honors College, came together to make sure that students could still celebrate with their friends.

ASUAF and the Honors College hosted a Friendsgiving event on November 20th in the Great Hall, which was open to any UAF student.

And just like that, a brand-new year is here at UAF! Whether you’re stepping onto campus for the first time, meeting new friends, finding your way, or you’re returning to UAF, let me be among the first to say, welcome.
