First Year Experience (FYE)
Making a smooth transition to college life is an important step in achieving success at college and at Northland. The FYE will get you started on the right path by connecting you to the people, programs and activities that will help you get the most out of your first year. All first-year students participate in the FYE which runs during the first half of the Fall Term.
You will meet your FYE classmates on the Tuesday before academic classes begin. Each section of the FYE has 8-10 students and an upper-class student instructor. The course will introduce you to other first-year students as well as to many activities and opportunities at Northland and in the local community. This is unlike any other class you will take, so make the most of this time getting to know your fellow classmates and participating in fun activities. Listed below is a tentative schedule for the fall FYE, with some sample programs:
- Introductions, Information Sharing, and Planning
- Leadership Activities
- Sustainability Programming - community garden; composting; renewable energy production
- Extracurricular activities with your group - sports events, NCSA meetings, lectures, campus events
- Wellness Fair - may include: local health care; Pilates; self-defense, healthy eating
- Lifelong Learning Activities - example: organic seed collection; fly fishing; swing dance; musical jams
- Community Service Project - Bayfield Apple Festival; Humane Society; LoonWatch; beach clean-up, Faith in Action

Brown Bag: A Century of Landscape Change in Alaska National Parks as Revealed by Repeat Photography
Oct 24, 2012
Location Information
Noon @ SOEI Sentry Room
Repeat photography has been used to document changes in ecosystems and landscapes across Alaska's National Parks by retaking historical photographs dating back to 1895. Most of the effort has been concentrated in the Lake Clark, Katmai and Aniakchak parklands in southwest Alaska. The photographs document a wide variety of changes associated with glaciers, coasts, floodplains, volcanism, landslides, avalanches, lakeshores, plant succession, shrub expansion, tree expansion, people, and human disturbance. The Park Service has initiated a new effort to involve the public in the retaking of old photographs in Alaska.
Torre Jorgenson is a landscape ecologist with Alaska Ecoscience in Fairbanks, Alaska. He also is adjunct professor with University of Alaska Fairbanks, is Past President of the U.S Permafrost Association, and is a graduate of UMD. He has worked on ecology and geomorphology studies throughout Alaska for thirty years, focusing on landscape change, vegetation-soil-permafrost interactions and impacts of human activities. A primary focus has been terrain mapping, coastal studies, and soil carbon/permafrost dynamics. He has been monitoring coastal changes on the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta and in southwestern Alaska parklands.
