Hello! My name is Emily Charash and I am from New York City. In 2021, I decided to spend my summer at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Fairbanks, Alaska. I wanted to meet new people, explore a new place, and take classes you could only find in the 49th state. For this show, I teamed up with UAF to bring you along on my summer adventures. You’ll meet the friends I made, you’ll shadow me in my classes—“Fly Fishing Weekend,” “Archeology Field School” and several others— and you’ll hear my thoughts as a New Yorker traveling and taking classes in Fairbanks, Alaska.
