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.

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.)  You may drop them off in 211 Irving I and staff will forward them to NSF and Bunnell.  If you are scheduling from a distance, office staff may be contacted to assist with this effort. Please send electronic copies of posters to fybio@uaf.edu.
