GAC Great Discussion Series: Trade and Politics, Thurs., April 13
April 12, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Thurs., April 13, 6:30-8:30 p.m. in Room 1010(m) Boardroom.
The U.S. political mood toward trade has gone sour. One need look no further than the 2016 presidential contest for the popular narrative: trade means that China wins, at America’s expense. But do the numbers support that conclusion? The metrics used to gauge economic strength—Gross Domestic Product and balance of trade—have not kept up with the realities of modern manufacturing. Obtaining an accurate picture of U.S. economic stature requires a critique of those numbers. Only then can the U.S. develop appropriate policy solutions for the challenges at hand.
Format:
6:30 – Video background report (complements printed briefing paper provided in advance)*
7:00 – Remarks by guest
7:30 – group discussion
*Videos and Briefing papers provided by the Foreign Policy Association.

April 11, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Join Student Life for the “From Margin to Center” program series with this training that will provide strategies to intervene in hostile/violent contexts. Wed., April 12 1:30-3 p.m. in the PUB 9208.
Tolu Taiwo and Luke Ruiz bring this training to talk about ways to be active bystanders while considering positionality and identities. This training prepares each member of the Shoreline Community College community to be active bystanders and look out for one another in order to create a safer community for all. We care about our friends – this presentation provides an overview of warning signs and skills for response when they are at risk.
Tolu Taiwo and Luke Ruiz both work at Pacific Lutheran University. Tolu serves as the Prevention and Outreach Coordinator for the Center for Gender Equity at Pacific Lutheran University, has served in an array of roles advocating for those in marginalized communities, and was recently selected as a faculty member at NASPA’s Dungy Leadership Institute. Luke Ruiz is a Resident Director for two upper division residential communities and his work crosses over with a number of offices, especially the Center for Gender Equity, where he has been involved in Active Bystander Training for the past couple of years and strongly believes in speaking up and out against injustices in our society.

April 11, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Join us for “Turning points in life for a young professional,” a talk by Stephen Murphy on Wed., April 12 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the PUB 9208.
University of Washington grad (1966), Stephen Murphy traveled east to Harvard Business School, where he faced his first turning point. Next, he struggled through Vietnam and Pacific typhoons, eventually finding his way to Columbia Business School and onward to Brazil. Later, he lands positions in both Bush administrations. In between, and since, he has had a successful career as an advisor to businesses on both sides of the U.S./Latin American border(s). To find out more about Steve’s “turning points of life,” on many roads both familiar and less traveled, join us. This is a frank and personal discussion of success, failure, and lessons learned by a Seattle boy who became a global wanderer.
