Events and News
Hey folks- this week I ran into a colleague on campus who congratulated me for the “book chapter” (the one Samira and I wrote about International Education at Shoreline), and I was puzzled. I asked, “How did you know that?” She said it was in your weekly update. Honestly, I forgot I put that info in last week’s update, but I was elated to know it was being read! Yes!
We were very fortunate last Friday to be visited by Governor Jay Inslee. Governor Inslee was interested in learning more about how we have incorporated clean energy/air programs into HVAC systems as well as learning more about our new CEDAR building (x̌əpay̓ac) and some of the workforce programs that support Washington state. He also had a great conversation with Honors students and learned about their research and connection to University of Washington’s undergraduate research emphasis.
I also attended another WAVES/API celebration this month and attended Troy Osaki’s event about Art & Social Justice. Little did we know there was going to be a beautiful spread of Hawaiian food as well! It was fun connecting with folks and learning with Troy- his creativity and poetry were inspiring.
I enjoyed attending the beginning of the Business program’s “Big Event” which was a wonderful retention/pathways event to help students better understand the options within the program. I only provided a brief welcome but heard the speakers and camaraderie were wonderful. Hoping to see more of these events as we develop as a college to bring current students together with faculty and community to learn more about the possibilities. Well done!
I was also able to get to the Black Student Union meet and greet on Thursday. It was packed. Great music, food, people playing games, and a great group of students. I was asked by a couple of students if I wanted some food and told them I had already had lunch but then they reminded me of a good excuse “for later.” So, I did take a couple pizza slices “for later.”
Finally, I am really looking forward to Matika Wilbur’s event tonight– “Changing the way we see Native America.” Hope to see you there!
Be well!
Jack
