The University of Alaska Fairbanks this fall will participate in the Outdoor Nation Campus Challenge, a national competition that asks students, employees, alumni and members of the community to track and share their outdoor activity online. When participants track their activity, the university earns points and participants are eligible for prizes. The school with the most participants and outdoor activities will be named the National Outdoor Champion and receive outdoor gear and a campus celebration. The 2015 Challenge is presented by The North Face and The REI Foundation. Other sponsors include Adidas, Osprey, CamelBak and Backpacker.
