Invitations to Participate
Community Day on Campus and Seacoast Relay
by Tish Satre, Student Services:
Saturday May 23rd is Community Day at UAS-Juneau, a
collaboration between Juneau Jazz and Classics, the Juneau
Arts and Humanities Council and UAS. It is a festival of
music and family fun. Non-profits with kid friendly activities
are encouraged to set up tables at no cost. We also want to
feature our UAS programs and activities. A big hit last year
were live ceramics demos in the sunny courtyard. If you
or your department would like to be involved (deadline to
reserve May 8) please contact Nancy DeCherney, nancy@jahc.
org at the JAHC to reserve your spot. Kid friendly attractions
encouraged. There will be food and fun from 10am-4pm.
If not a table, mark your calendars to bring your family. It’s
a great day on campus. Last year over 1500 visitors!! UAS
Dining Services will have BBQ lunch and Ice Cream Bar and
Admissions will be there too. How about you?
by Sherry Tamone, Biology Faculty:
I am organizing the 19th Annual
Sea Coast Relay again and it will take
place on May 23rd. It is a 5-person
relay that starts at 9:00 am at the
Lena Picnic area and ends at UAS
during Community Day. This 23 mile
relay follows a scenic coastal route
along Lena Loop Road and the Auke Recreation Area access
road. This year the race will follow a course towards the
Mendenhall Glacier where teams will turn around and run
back towards the University, but not before experiencing
the beauty of an out and back on the Kaxdigoowu Heen
Dei (Mendenhall river trail). It is a fun event that can bring
up to 150 people to the campus to take part in the campus
activities. Registration forms are available at the Student
Activities Center and from the Southeast Road Runners
website (www.southeastroadrunners.org). If anyone would
like some information, they can contact me at sltamone@uas.
