April 12, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Join us on Friday, April 14 in the PUB’s Main Dining Room (#9215) from 1:30-3:30 p.m. for a conversation (entitled Why do we value Free Speech?) with the ACLU of Washington’s Deputy Director Michele Storms related to the issue of First Amendment rights on college campuses.

Join this interactive conversation about how we express our ideas in a diverse society and what it means to disagree and live in community. Some questions we will consider are:

  • What does it mean to speak out when our ideas and expressions clash?
  • How do we function as a society when we don’t agree?

Come explore ways to address the challenges of living together in the face of differences in expression and ideas.

Information on the Spring 2017 Campus Update #1 was first announced on the April 3, 2017 Spring Message from President Roberts.

The April 14 Campus Update will be recorded and the link to the video provided after closed captioning is completed.

From the Human Resources Office: If you are planning to attend the Campus Update in person, please abstain from wearing personal care products (including hair products, perfume or cologne) containing chemicals or fragrances that might impact individuals with chemical sensitivities.

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.
