They're coming! The first of two Discover Puget Sound events is Friday, Oct. 7. Hundreds of prospective students and their families will be on campus for tours, class visits, sessions on the application process and financial aid, and an open house at the Student Diversity Center. The second Discover Puget Sound day will be Nov. 11.
Puget Sound's annual discriminatory harassment report is now available online. To view it visit pugetsound.edu/hroreports. This year harassment report officers (HROs) have again broadened the reporting practice by sharing all concerns and incidents—not just those which resulted in official actions—reported to HROs, the chief diversity/Title IX officer, and the Bias Hate Educational Response Team (BHERT). This methodology increases the documented incidents for this report, but provides the community with a more comprehensive picture of the discriminatory incidents submitted to the university.

BE PROUD noteworthy and in the news
Peter Hodum, biology and environmental policy and decision making, was in Barcelona recently, participating in the Sixth International Albatross and Petrel Conference. He gave an oral presentation on community-based approaches to seabird conservation and presented a poster on the conservation status of De Filippi’s Petrel. Additionally he was a co-author on three talks and a poster, and served on the conference's Scientific Committee.
In August Lynda Livingston, business and leadership, and Andy Crosby ’17 represented Four Horsemen Investments and Puget Sound at the 11th annual Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Conference in London. At the conference they presented their research paper "The Long-term Performance and Potential of a Student-managed Peer-to-Peer Loan Fund." A release unit last fall from Puget Sound and a 2015–16 Tacoma Artists Initiative Program award from Tacoma Arts Commission allowed Janet Marcavage, art and art history, to conduct studio research into the intaglio printmaking processes of Baldwin Intaglio Ground (BIG) and aquatint. Her artwork developing from this research is included in Breaking New Ground, an exhibition at the School of Art Gallery at Aberystwyth University in Wales. The exhibition of prints by international artists using Baldwin Intaglio Ground is curated by Andrew Baldwin, who developed the ground, and runs from Oct. 10 through Nov. 18, before traveling to the U.S. Janet also will have work on display locally this fall. Lines, an exhibition of her new etchings and screenprints will open at the main branch of Tacoma Public Library Nov. 12, and run through Dec. 31.
“He’d Ordered a Wow of Ecstasy,” a poem by Hans Ostrom, African American studies and English, shared first place with a poem by Rebecca Morgan Frank in “Next Line Please,” a contest in The American Scholar. Each week poet and editor David Lehman chooses a line from the work of a famous poet and offers it as a prompt for new poems. The line inspiring Hans' poem was “A woe of ecstasy,” from a poem by Emily Dickinson.
Jennifer Pitonyak, occupational therapy, recently returned from chairing the international research conference of the Society for the Study of Occupation: USA and the Canadian Society of Occupational Science. The conference was held in Portland, Maine, at the historic Portland Regency Hotel. Jennifer also gave two presentations at the conference, one on race and occupation and the other on pedagogy for critical thinking.
Congratulations to Brian Sullivan, Dining and Conference Services, who recently became a Certified Executive Chef (CEC) with the American Culinary Federation. This is a major milestone and something Brian has worked toward for 16 years.
