Invitation to the UA Community to Participate

From WikiYoungIPY-UA

As you may know, the International Polar Year (IPY 2007-2008) will be launched in March 2007. IPY is aimed at promoting worldwide attention on polar regions, which certainly includes Alaska. To advance public and educational outreach related to IPY, a "University of Alaska IPY Young Researchers' Network" has been formed at UAF. We invite and welcome members from the rest of our UA community, at all locations, to become involved in our current projects, suggest additional ideas or coordinate new activities with us.

Our aim is to act as an umbrella organization, facilitating outreach programs and coordinating communication within and about each project. More information on our current project ideas can be found at our website at: http://ipy-youth.uaf.edu.
