THE NORTHERNMOST ALUMNUS:
HOW CRAIG GEORGE WOUND UP IN BARROW ALASKA
(COURTESY USU MAGAZINE, SUMMER 2016) |
 On the northern tip of Alaska, looking out over the receding sea ice, sits the town of Barrow. With a population of only 4,300 people, you might not expect to find an Aggie in the bunch. But Craig George ’76 has lived there since his graduation from Utah State University.
He may very well live farther north than any other Aggie in the world, and his experiences rubbing shoulders with the Inupiat elders, serendipitously helping to define the lifespan of the bowhead whale and witnessing a town being reshaped by climate change, industrialization and oil development have been transformative. |

| BOOK TOUR BICYCLIST IS BEST OF 2016 |
|
During the summer of 2016, the USU Alumni Relations team partnered with Mike Glauser, professor of business at Utah State, to host a number of readings and receptions for our Alumni along the route.
You may remember that during the summer of 2015, Glauser and a small team, including his wife Mary, biked across the US, beginning in Oregon and ending up in Virginia. Along the way, they stopped in 100 towns and cities to interview entrepreneurs who had decided that the lifestyle of the communities in which they lived was important to them, and so they had created businesses that allowed them to live in the places they loved and still create value for themselves and for their communities. Main Street Entrepreneur is the story of many of those interviewed during the cross-country trek.
Mike’s book is listed as one of the best books for entrepreneurs in 2016 by Inc Magazine. We loved it too! Do you have a copy? Let us know by Tweeting #USUBestBook @UtahStateAlumni
