College admissions: How the game is shifting
“Even for those of us who don’t have the luxury of having a super deep applicant pool, we’ve changed practices to ensure there isn’t a way to be influenced by an applicant’s race or ethnicity. That information is masked,” Lewis & Clark College Vice President for Admissions and Financial Aid Eric Staab said. “I would be totally shocked if the hyper-selective institutions didn’t do exactly the same thing.”

“Incorporating a social justice lens throughout the [Art Therapy] program has shaped my approach, heightening my attention toward using my privilege to advocate for the rights and needs of those who are disadvantaged and/or discriminated against. It has alerted me to examine my own assumptions and values, and those of oppressive systems, and to continue to educate myself in the many diverse cultures, beliefs, and values of the people we share the earth with.”

Sunny A. Smith is a queer, trans* nonbinary artist, educator, and institutional leader whose work investigates how history is constructed, remembered, and contested. Based in Yelamu and Huchiun (San Francisco Bay Area) on unceded Ohlone territory, Smith engages with craft, material culture, and collective storytelling to explore the power of objects in shaping historical narratives. For over two decades, Smith has challenged dominant histories and amplified alternative perspectives—whether by reinterpreting the role of craft in nation-building, reconstructing historical events through participatory projects, or reactivating material archives in new ways.

Two Washington State teenage climate activists embark on an impulsive motorcycle journey to join a group of oil protesters on the East Coast. As they follow a major pipeline across the country, what began as two young environmentalists’ longing to belong to something greater than themselves gives way to Rain and Zoe discovering that the true danger in this world might just be growing up. This play is a funny, sincere and profoundly moving adventure about the ethics of standing up for what you believe, whatever the cost. This production is designed to simultaneously speak to older and younger generations of activists alike.
