The Fairbanks North Star Borough's Early Childhood Development Commission recently recognized three ÃÛÌÒTV departments as family friendly workplaces. ÃÛÌÒTV departments swept the awards for public sector employers, with recognition going to ÃÛÌÒTV Nanook Recreation (1-10 employees), the Bursar's Office (11-25 employees), and the College of Rural and Community Development (more than 25 employees).

The annual awards recognize employers that help employees balance work and family responsibilities.
