A message from President Roberts: We need your input!

 

Dear Colleagues,

We are in the final stages of adopting a new tagline to help communicate our College’s identity. We would like your feedback on two taglines that are being considered. This survey comes out of the college identity project we began last winter with CLARUS Corporation that involved developing messages about the College based on multiple listening sessions and surveys with students, employees, and community members. Please fill out this very brief survey by Friday, February 3.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Employee-Tagline

Your individual responses to the survey are confidential. Your answers will be combined with others’ participating in the study, and only general data will be shared with the College.

Thank you for helping us in this process. And please take a brief moment to respond to the survey by next Friday!

With gratitude,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Thurs., Feb. 3: 7-8:30 p.m.
german flag.jpgDr. Frank Wendler: DAAD Visiting Professor, Department of Political Science and the Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington.

While the United States continues to be a key political partner and ally in Europe, new challenges have arisen recently, including:
• The future economic, political and military partnership between Europe and the U.S.
• The rise of populist politics and anti-immigrant rhetoric in both the U.S. and  Europe

Dr. Wendler, who recently published a book about European regional politics and political polarization, argues that recent developments, including the rise of populism in both the U.S. and in Europe, reflect long-standing challenges since the end of the Cold War rather than entirely new ones.

Additional support provided by the Center for Global Studies, Henry M. Jackson School
of International Studies, UW. For more information about Dr. Frank Wendler, visit our biographies page.

Message to the campus community from President Roberts regarding President Trump’s Executive Order

Dear Colleague,

As you may be aware, President Trump has issued an Executive Order banning certain nationalities from entering the United States. Since our international students may reach out to you for guidance, we wanted you to know the college is currently advising our international students not to travel outside the United States, including trips to Canada.

We will continue to provide updates on the Executive Order as information becomes available. If you have additional questions, you can contact the International Education office in Building 9000, room 9302.

I appreciate everything you do to support and communicate to our international students that they are valued members of our community.

Our college continues to be committed to creating a welcoming environment for all of us to work and learn. Thank you for helping us create this supportive college.

Respectfully,

Cheryl
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
