REQUIRED NOTIFICATION TO DEPARTMENT CHAIR

Inform Dr. Rich Boone via e-mail (ffrdb@uaf.edu) as soon as a time and location for your defense is scheduled. If you are a Wildlife Biology graduate student, then please inform the Wildlife Program Chair, Dr. Perry Barboza, via e-mail (ffpsb@uaf.edu) with your defense time and location.

Please display posters 2 weeks in advance in IRV I, WRRB, AHRB, and ask department staff to send copies to CNSM in the Reichardt Building, Bunnell, and any other buildings that may be appropriate. (Most people make about 2 dozen--color is preferred.) If you are scheduling from a distance, office staff may be contacted to assist with this effort. Please send an electronic copy of your poster to fybio@uaf.edu.
