Events and News
Hello all, hope you are having a great week. There’s a lot going on so let’s get started!
We were very lucky this week to learn from historian Moon-Ho Jung from the University of Washington during our celebration of Korean American day. The presentation provided a critical lens regarding the history of Korean Americans in the United States. It was great seeing so many students participating – I was thrilled honestly. The food was delicious…but I think I ate too many Gimmari (fried seaweed rolls)! Big thanks to Scott and the WAVES team for their great work.
I also really enjoyed attending the Desserts with the Deans event. It was fun connecting with students and the deans of course. Hardworking deans need dessert. Now that I think of it, I think I’m eating too much at these events.
I was also able to stop by the MC winter welcome and chat with a few students as well. They were doing Karaoke at the time, and I heard a student singing and wow what a great voice! We have a lot of talented students here!
As you know Monday is MLK Day and the campus will be closed to commemorate the holiday and celebrate Dr King’s Legacy. We have two great events happening next week and I would urge you to join.
- Dr Paul Harrick will be discussing Dr King’s philosophy in the QDR on Jan 21
- Edwin Pratt celebration event – we will honor the legacy of local shoreline civil rights leader on January 30th in the PUB
Both events are FREE
