Job X provides employers an opportunity to meet with vocational professionals and express their business needs, hiring and retention challenges, and work values. It is also a platform to educate employment specialists on what types of candidates are appropriate and what types of job opportunities are available. Each meeting will be one hour long and will follow a semi-formal agenda. Each meeting will have a guest speaker for 20-30 minutes ranging from different local employers to community support agencies that serve both employment candidates as well as businesses. There will be opportunities to announce local job openings and community employment events, as well as network and ask questions of employers, community support agencies and employment specialists. Job seekers are not a part of this group or these meetings. This group is open to hiring professionals, employment specialists and partner agencies. This open group does not require weekly attendance, but rather popping in and out of meetings that appeal to you. Contact Beau Kelly at [email protected] to get added to the mailing list so you always know who the next presenter will be.

Weekly Business Luncheon Tuesday, March 24th [ 12-1pm, 8 Star Events Center ] Alaska Pollock 101: Demystifying an Economic Engine of Alaska Julie Decker President at Pacific Seafood Processors Association   Caitlin Yeager Vice President of Policy & Engagement at At Sea Processors Association Alaska Pollock 101 breaks down how the pollock fishery quietly powers Alaska’s economy, from year-round jobs and reliable tax revenue to global exports that support local businesses far beyond the dock. Caitlin Yeager & Julie Decker will walk audiences through how the fishery operates, who it employs, and why its scale and stability matter to communities across the state. The presentation also looks at how Alaska pollock connects to supply chains, transportation, manufacturing, and services that business leaders interact with every day. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of how a single fishery functions as an economic engine, and why its long-term health is closely tied to Alaska’s broader business climate.

The thinking capacities of recent AI systems are astonishing. Even more astonishing is that they emerge from language alone. This lecture explores a radical reframing: that language is not merely a tool we use, but a memetic organism—a creature that co-evolved with the human brain. If so, then embedding this creature in super-efficient learning machines may force us to rethink not only AI, but what we ourselves are. AI, Memetic Organisms, and the Creature That Thinks It’s You Date: Friday, March 27, 2026 Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm Location: Schaible Auditorium Zoom Option: https://alaska.zoom.us/j/86340280778 This event is hosted by the UAF Department of Philosophy Philosophy at UAF The UAF Department of Philosophy encourages students to ask big questions about ethics, knowledge, justice and the nature of reality while developing the critical thinking and communication skills valued across careers. Through engaging courses, public lectures and close faculty mentorship, philosophy students learn to analyze complex ideas, engage respectfully with diverse perspectives and contribute thoughtfully to their communities.

Free and open to all. “Navigating the Weeds of Restorative Practice Practice” 2026 Restorative Justice Symposium Date: Monday-Wednesday, March 30th-April 1st, 2026 Time: 1:00pm-4:00pm AKST Location: Virtual Website: https://www.alaska.edu/rjcenter/symposiums/2026 Registration is Open! https://alaska.zoom.us/meeting/register/98EjL9D8Qa2hM6gTMQfJbw This event is hosted by the UAA School of Social Work and the UAF Department of Justice. About the Restorative Justice Symposium Starting in 2023, University of Alaska professors Dr. Rei Shimizu (University of Alaska Anchorage School of Social Work) and Dr. Ingrid Johnson (University of Alaska Fairbanks Justice Department) have brought Alaskans together each Spring to explore and expand the use of restorative justice (RJ) to address harms in our communities. Alternating between in person and online formats, the specific objectives of each symposium vary while the overarching goals remain the same: Increase awareness about the possibilities of RJ; Empower individuals and communities to develop and expand their RJ programs; and Connect with each other to build support and knowledge networks. These symposiums contribute to the University of Alaska’s (UA) mission by providing public service that emphasizes the North and its diverse peoples; contributing to Alaska’s skilled workforce and engaged citizenship; and striving to provide a welcoming, diverse, equitable, and inclusive space. #CLAis #UAFJustice #UAASocialWork #RestorativeJustice #NavigatingTheWeedsofRestorativeJustice #VirtualSymposium #NanookNation
