BE PROUD noteworthy and in the news
Dean for Diversity and Inclusion Michael Benitez and Northwest 5 Consortium colleagues from Reed and Whitman colleges presented a successful session at the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AACU) National Meeting in January, “'Someone Who Looks like Me': Promoting the Success of Students of Color by Promoting the Success of Faculty of Color.” The presenters have been invited to write an article for Liberal Education, AACU’s flagship publication, as a follow-up to the session. Andrew Gardner, sociology and anthropology, recently delivered a public lecture titled "The Journey to Arabia: An Ethnographic Portrait of Migration in the Indian Ocean World" at University of Washington as part of the Migrations Within the Middle East roundtable discussion. The public lecture and roundtable was organized by the Middle East Center and the Jackson School of International Studies. Peter Hodum, biology and environmental policy and decision making, was one of three co-organizers and co-chairs of the Pacific Seabird Group's 44th annual conference, held recently in Tacoma. Peter co-chaired the Tufted Puffin Technical Committee meeting and gave an oral presentation, and two of his research students, Amanda Johnson ’17 and Robyn Thomas ’18, presented posters.
A special issue of Women and Language focused on engaged feminist scholarship, co-edited by Associate Dean for Experiential Learning and Civic Scholarship Renee Houston, communication studies, and Jimmie Manning (Northern Illinois University), was recognized with an Innovator Award by the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Caucus of the Central States Communication Association. Leslie Levenson, geology, will display three original pieces of artwork, which combine photography, fabric, and embroidery, at the Schack Art Center in Everett, March 9–April 15. This is the culminating exhibit of a yearlong traveling show of the Surface Design Association of Washington. Congratulations to the Logger women's basketball team for a thrilling conclusion to a great season. The team finished the 2016–17 season with the most wins (26) in school history, while completing a undefeated conference schedule on the way to winning the Loggers' first solo Northwest Conference regular season crown. #LoggerUP!
