Get ready. Our campuswide lockdown drill is Thursday. We're conducting an all-campus lockdown drill on Thursday, Sept. 13, at 10:45 a.m. This year, members of the Tacoma Police Department will participate in the drill by serving as evaluators. We’re teaming up police officers with members of our Security Services team to walk through campus buildings during the drill. This will also serve as a training exercise in that our teams will be working together to familiarize each other with response procedures.

| Rob Beezer, mathematics and computer science, is the project director for UTMOST (Undergraduate Teaching of Mathematics with Open Software and Textbooks), a program of the American Institute of Mathematics. The project has been awarded a $2 million research and development grant from the National Science Foundation's Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program, providing funding for another four years. Andrew Gardner, sociology and anthropology, recently published the article "Reflections on the Role of Law in the Gulf Migration System" in a special issue of The University of Chicago’s Journal of Legal Studies. The special issue, edited by Adam Chilton, Tom Ginsburg, and Eric Posner, discusses features for the optimal design of guest-worker programs in diverse contexts. Andrew also published the piece "On Tribalism and Arabia" on the Middle East Centre blog at the London School of Economics. In that essay, he discusses some of the possible explanations for the resurgence of tribalism in the wealthy states of the Arabian Peninsula. Ariela Tubert, philosophy, published the article “Ethical Machines?” in the Seattle University Law Review. Renee Watling, occupational therapy, is lead author of the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Practice Guidelines for Children and Adolescents With Challenges in Sensory Processing and Sensory Integration, which “define(s) the occupational therapy domain and process and interventions that occur within the boundaries of acceptable practice.” Guidelines are used by both internal and external audiences to promote high-quality occupational therapy, inform policy decisions, provide education, and influence research, and more.

Beginning today, when you log in to myPugetSound, you’ll see news, announcements, and “Be Proud” shoutouts right there, in the same place you approve your time sheet, check your department budget, and register your vehicle! What does this mean for you? Two main things are changing: - Where to send your news and announcements: mypsnews@pugetsound.edu. Anything that you would have sent to Open Line should now go to the myPugetSound News email address.
- The submission deadline. myPugetSound news and announcements will be updated every Monday. Submissions are due at least one week prior to publication and may be edited for clarity and style.
