Minnie Naylor was named director of the University of ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Fairbanks Chukchi Campus in Kotzebue effective July 2.
Naylor has worked for ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ for nine years and most recently served as interim director of the Chukchi Campus, part of ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ’s College of Rural and Community Development.
