Be a part of the HS2 Access Program – the Health Science High School Access Program. From October through May, the Health Sciences host visiting groups of high school students to give students the opportunity to hear from some of the nation’s leaders in health science education, as well as to see the cutting-edge medicine, research and technology taking place at the UW Health Sciences Center and UW Medical Center. One of the students’ favorite parts of the visit is when they get the opportunity to see and learn about Dr. Richard J. Blandau’s fetal collection housed here at UW.

 

We’re currently looking for someone to speak to visiting students about the collection in the context of the fetal development process.

I hope the new year is going well for you!  

 

My apologies for sending this late to you, but I am now supporting the Professional Training Opportunities Program (PTOP) and there is a call for funding for various Occupational Health projects (applicant may propose a (1) Research project or demonstration; (2) Internship or other learning experiences; (3) Activity or program) that address health and/or safety issues in the workplace or for working populations. Here is the RFA, and I is due December 1st, but it is a fairly short application form:

It is the policy of the University of Washington (UW) Provost to seek and consider the input and advice of the UW student body through the Provost’s Advisory Committee for Students (PACS) on the following subjects: annual budgets, tuition levels and state tuition policy proposals, financial aid, long-range budget and allocation planning, with particular reference to student concerns, admissions and enrollment management and, most importantly, management of the Provost Reinvestment Fund. The application to the link is here: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/asuwbdua/314583

I was wondering if you could help pass on this application to your constituents. It is critical that we have active and insightful representatives on this committee! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Our Mission:  Advancing Excellence through Diversity

 

There is great opportunity for your students interested in education and racism; next quarter, Winter 2017, and the following quarter, Spring 2017, Educ 401 B will be offered. This two part seminar will present how to approach undoing institutionalized racism in the education system. This movement, as a matter of national agenda, has seen efforts that have been targeted at secondary and higher education rather than elementary school. Considering that, this course hopes to provide students with the with the understanding necessary to facilitate changes in the relationship between schools, race, and race formation. Taught at Leschi Elementary School students will spend the first quarter learning how race and racism function in elementary school. The second seminar will address anti-racism education including examples from Seattle School District. I have attached the flyer for the course to this email as well.

 

 

For undergrad students, please fill out this survey before you enroll.

"Is Ethnographic Evidence Public or Private? Opportunities and Challenges to Ethnographic Data Sharing Requirements with American Indian Tribes”

In this talk I argue that data sharing, new as it is to cultural anthropology, presents an opportunity to decolonize the discipline’s ongoing trend of knowledge extraction by challenging our notions of control, ownership and management of ethnographic data. This paper discusses the data sharing requirements I agreed upon with a partnering tribe, disentangles specific ethical and infrastructural challenges to meeting the requirement, and presents policy solutions for future ethnographic data sharing with tribal communities.

 

Sean Bruna is assistant professor of Anthropology at Western Washington University. In 2013, he completed his doctoral degree in Medical Anthropology at the University of New Mexico. He holds a master’s degree in Cultural Anthropology from University of New Mexico (2005), a master’s degree in the Social Science with a focus in Federal Indian Law from the University of Chicago.  In his research and teachings, Sean Bruna examines the intersection of identity and chronic disease in community-based participatory research in frontier, rural and urban settings. He works in partnership with native peoples to decolonize knowledge and research processes, examines the sharing of data and knowledge among generations, and he analyzes the concept and practice of cultural competency post medical training. His work has been published in academic journals such as Journal of Ambulatory Care Management, and Health Promotion Practice.

I hope this email finds you in good spirits. I wanted to send an email regarding a class I will be teaching this winter '17 under the mentorship of Dr. Dan Vogt.  The course is sponsored by the College of Environment and Graduate School.

 

This course examines the concept of environmental justice through a decolonization lens—giving a voice to to those who have been silenced in the official environmental discourse. Through guest presentations, group work, facilitated discussions, readings, and inclusive teaching strategies students will examine & explore current and past environmental justice cases. Some of the cases include; the Dakota Access Pipeline, Lummi Coal Terminal, San Joaquin Valley’s Drinking Water, etc.

 

It is capped at 25 students. Please share with any students who are interested in environmental justice! .

As always, the Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards is available to support any UW undergrads or alumni interested in applying for this (or any other) program.

Additional details are below, but in brief, Humanity in Action provides two summer program opportunities in Europe and Atlanta:

·         Atlanta: The John Lewis Fellowship, the American program, focuses on issues of diversity within the United States, with a particular emphases on Atlanta, the American South and the Civil Rights Movement.

Read more at the Fellowship Curriculum page.

Brief eligibility overview (see the Call of Applications for more):

·         Applicants to the Humanity in Action Fellowship must be currently enrolled undergraduate students (sophomores, juniors and seniors) or recent graduates (individuals from the undergraduate classes of 2015 and 2016). Applicants of minority backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

·         If you are an American citizen studying at a foreign university, you are eligible to apply to the Humanity in Action Fellowship through the United States.

Volunteer during Winter Quarter:
We’ll help you get set up tutoring in a K-12 classroom or community organization.  Tutors make a minimum commitment of 2-3 hours per week for at least one quarter.
The schedule is flexible: schools need tutors Mon-Fri between 7:30 and 5pm. And we offer transportation to some of our partner schools that have the highest need for tutors. http://expd.uw.edu/pipeline/volunteering-with-pipeline/

 Take an EDUC 401 Inner Pipeline Seminar Class for Credit: 
Participate in a weekly Pipeline seminar and tutor for at least 2.5 hours a week at a Seattle school or community organization! All of our courses are Credit/No Credit, are I & S credits, and are listed under EDUC 401. The number of credits a student receives depends on the number of tutoring hours completed in addition to seminar attendance. 2 credits: weekly seminar and tutor 2-3 hours per week. Seminars are a fantastic opportunity to learn about issues in public education and tutoring strategies, while reflecting and learning from your tutoring site.

Take a look at the Pipeline Winter Seminars:  http://expd.uw.edu/pipeline/inner-pipeline-seminars/winter-2017/

 

Inner Pipeline Seminar Spotlight:
EDUC 401M: Philosophy for Children
Tuesdays 3:00-4:20pm

In this seminar, students explore various methods for introducing philosophy to K-12 students. The seminar focuses on ways in which to establish “communities of philosophical inquiry” in classrooms, and students develop an understanding of how to inspire philosophical discussions with pre-college students. The emphasis is on learning by doing, and we will discuss such questions as: Why should I be moral? What is art? Do animals have rights? Students will facilitate philosophy sessions in local public schools. UCARs are available for transportation to and from schools.

The Dance Program will be holding 5 spaces for EOP Freshman/Sophomores/Transfer students in each of our three sections of Dance 102 class for Winter 2017.   It is a fun and invigorating way to fulfill VLPA credit and for that reason the class is wildly popular and often fills up and has a long seat notification list.   It is also a wonderful balance to student schedules and students often report greater focus in other classes after taking dance. Ideally, we would like advisers to refer students based on some movement experience which is not studio dance (i.e. no background in ballet, modern or jazz - but in some other form, examples include folk dance, gymnastics, breakdancing, color guard, martial arts, etc…) - and/or a genuine interest in dance.   Referred students will be enrolled directly in the course by the Dance Adviser, Kelly Canaday.  Please have students contact Kelly at kcanaday@uw.edu with the following information:
 
Student Name
Student Number
Section they are interested in
Adviser name they were referred by
 
Below is a listing of the courses for which we’ll hold the 5 spaces until August 31, 2016 (this should hopefully allow us enough time to get referrals for incoming Freshman, as well as sophomores):
Dance 102 A, SLN 13331, 3 credits - MWF 9-10:20am, Meany 265

Dance 102 B, SLN 13332, 3 credits - MWF 9-10:20am, Meany 266
 Dance 102 C, SLN 13333, 2 credits - TTh 9-10:20am, Meany 266
 Dance 102 is an introduction to the art of dance, specifically western dance forms. Movement sessions will involve dance improvisation, ballet, modern, and jazz dance techniques. This is primarily a movement-based course. Brief lectures and a discussion session will address a variety of dance-related subjects such as music for dance, basic anatomy for dance, and how to view dance.  Grading is based on in-class participation - thus attendance is very important.  Very little outside work required.  

 

 

This class has priority for our majors during period one.  I will be taking the names of interested in students for period 2 registration.  Students will be selected during period 2 on a variety of factors, including dance background, EOP or URM status, class standing, etc…  If an OMAD adviser has a particular student they would like to discuss for consideration, please contact Kelly at kcanaday@uw.edu

 

Studio and lecture/discussion about dances that originated and continue to evolve from Hip Hop culture. Addresses the aesthetic, social, and cultural differences between styles rooted in clubbing/battling/cyphering/sessioning. Exposes students to legacy of the forms. 

 

 

For students with any experience in Ballet, Modern, Jazz, or Tap dance - please refer them directly to our department to discuss the best class for them to enter into.  Students with the requisite experience outside of the university can enter into higher level classes, but first need to have me evaluate their experience for initial placement.

These activities focus in promoting STEM education to K-12 underrepresented minority students. Every month we have general meetings in which we discuss future events, opportunities for professional development and brainstorm activities to serve our members. 

 

Our meetings serve as an opportunity for students to share their stories and learn from other members’ experiences, while enjoying delicious food! For example, graduate students members can provide valuable mentorship to our undergraduate students members.

 

We want to emphasize that everyone can attend our meetings without commitment; you are welcome to attend a meeting and then decide if you would like to continue participating or not. All of our events are voluntary and we want to provide the best opportunities for the chapter members!

The mind is called ʻmom tune ay chi kunʼ. ʻMom tune ay chi kunʼ is the sacred place inside each one of us where no one else can go. It is in this place that each one of us can dream, fantasize, create and, yes, even talk to the grandfathers and grandmothers. The thoughts and images that come from this place are called ʻmom tune ay chi kunaʼ, which means wisdoms, and they can be given to others in stories, songs, dances and art. Stories are called ʻachimoonaʼ, songs are ʻnugamoonaʼ, dances are ʻneemeetoonaʼ and art is ʻtatsinaikewinʼ. They sound almost the same, donʼt they? That is because all these words, describe gifts that come from the sacred place inside (Maria Campbell, 1985).

 

Art and aesthetic is the creative force of people and their worldviews. “Indian” art and aesthetic is an interpretation and expression of life by the Indigenous peoples of North America. While numerous Indigenous peoples reside in the western hemisphere, this class introduces you to the aesthetic universe of peoples who are currently known as American Indian, Alaskan Native and some Canadian First Nations. This class will provide you an abundance of thought, expression, stories, dance, art and art objects, film, and music to consider. The intent is to invite you into the sounds, motions, objects, spirit and colors that are the aesthetic universe of Native North America.

 

 

This course will cover issues of concern to today’s urban American Indian/Alaska Natives. Topics will include the reasons Natives relocated to the cities and examine the cultural, social, economic and political outcomes of such a migration.  Students will take an in-depth look into the traditional and contemporary Indian identity, issues encountered by Indians in the urban setting and the resulting outcomes in major metropolitan cities: Indian organizations; federal programs; pan-Indian identities; healthcare; social and Indian child welfare, urbanization of traditional homelands, and cultural survival/resilience.

 

History of laws governing American Indians: aboriginal law systems, U. S. laws, and contemporary tribal laws. Effects of laws and legal institutions on contemporary Indian identity and tribal status, self-government, land ownership and use, natural resources, religion, family life, cultural and spiritual practices, crimes and punishment, and federal responsibilities for Indians.

 

Studio course emphasizes principles of structure and style of two-dimensional art which can be found on many old, traditional Northwest Coast pieces, such as painted storage boxes and chests, house panels, and ceremonial screens. Students apply these principles in creating a variety of graphic projects.

A hands-on research seminar, introducing students to various library and archival sources of information about American Indian history (Northwest focus) and to the challenges of interpreting them and using them in historical accounts. Interested and curious students are encouraged to talk with Professor Harmon (aharmon@uw.edu) for information or add codes.

 

Seminar based on social science writings, autobiographies, biographies, and fiction written by, with, or about indigenous women of the United States and Canada. Offered: jointly with GWSS 440.

 

Focuses on First Nations government and politics in Canada. Examines development of First Nations political governing structures with an introduction to the values, perspectives, concepts, and principles in Native political cultures. Explores federal Indian policy in context of First Nations strategies to become self-governing. Offered: jointly with JSIS A 426.

For those who have questions about DACA, please see the DACA Advisory from our friends at Northwest Immigration Rights Project,  It has really great information about next steps with DACA. 

 

Paraphrased from Northwest Immigrant Rights Project

 

Basics: DACA is a program established by President Obama in June 2012 that grants temporary protection from deportation. requirements. During the campaign, Donald Trump indicated that he would end the DACA program if he was elected, but he did not specify what this meant.

 

IF YOU HAVE NEVER APPLIED FOR DACA BUT THINK YOU QUALIFY: Do NOT apply for the first time, unless you are in removal (deportation) proceedings.

IF YOU ARE IN REMOVAL (DEPORTATION) PROCEEDINGS: Contact your attorney ASAP. If you don't have an attorney call Northwest Immigrant Rights Project Western WA (Seattle) – 206‐587‐4009 – Yakima Valley (Granger) – 888‐756‐3641 ‐‐ Wenatchee – 866‐271‐2084

 

IF YOU ALREADY SUBMITTED YOUR DACA APPLICATION & IT IS PENDING: It's possible it might be approved while Obama is still in office. If you were assisted by an attorney or accredited

representative who told you that you were eligible, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project recommends that you continue with that

application. If you did not get assistance from an attorney or accredited representative, we would recommend that you consult with one to figure out what you should do.

 

IF YOU HAVE DACA BUT YOUR WORK PERMIT IS EXPIRING SOON: As long as you already have

been approved for DACA and you have not had issues that might disqualify you from DACA, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project

recommends at this time is that you continue to seek renewal of your DACA status if your permit expires before April 10, 2017. Issues that might disqualify you from DACA status include any arrests, charges or convictions or travel outside the United States without prior approval (advanced parole) since

your last application. Please understand that although Northwest Immigrant Rights Project recommends pursuing renewal, it is possible that your work permit may not get approved and you may end up losing the application fee. Also, this recommendation might change depending on what announcements are made so please stay informed of further developments.

 

IF YOU ARE A CURRENT DACA RECIPIENT AND PLANNING TO TRAVEL UNDER ADVANCED PAROLE: The general recommendation is to NOT travel outside of the U.S. at this time, **even you've they have been approved** for advanced parole. However, we appreciate that there may be emergency circumstances and the government is still accepting

requests for advanced parole from DACA recipients as of the date of this advisory.

 

NWIRP offices: Western WA (Seattle) – 206‐587‐4009 –

Yakima Valley (Granger) – 888‐756‐3641 ‐‐ Wenatchee – 866‐271‐2084

 

I don’t want you to be afraid, I don’t want you to panic. But we do need to prepared. We can get prepared by knowing our rights as a community, and by knowing that if DACA gets taken away we are a resilient community that once didn’t have DACA, and we will rise again TOGETHER. 

 

IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT DACA OR HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL US OR VISIT US! The ECC will to be closed tomorrow, but will resume operations next week, Mon-Fri from 9:00AM to 9:00PM.

We have open spaces in Are Do Gooders Doing Good? Critical Perspectives on Civic Engagement. This course is ideal for students at any level who have experience with service and who are interested in exploring what it means to do good.  

 

Read more about this dynamic course below, and please forward widely within your networks.

----------------------------------

 

 

Are you committed to giving back? Trying to make a difference? Want to get more out of your volunteer experience and make a stronger impact in the community?  During Winter Quarter, we invite you to join in a critical reflection on what it truly means to “do good” in today’s social-cultural climate.  

 

General Studies 348 will offer a hands-on opportunity to explore the concept of civic engagement. Students will critically reflect on their own service experiences through the lens of academic theories, engage with principles of community work, and learn from the experiences of community leaders.  In addition to those perspectives, the course will draw upon current issues/events affecting various communities at large, as well as students' involvement in service and will weave these together with elements of other academic coursework and future academic/career goals. 

 

The course has a required service-learning component; students are encouraged to utilize current service commitments toward this requirement, though individualized support will be offered to those looking for a service opportunity.  This is a three-credit course that is offered as credit/no credit; sessions will be held on Thursdays from 3:30-5:20PM.  

 

Those interested in the course should email engage@uw.edu with questions and/or to request an add code.

Please share this course announcement with students who might be interested. This course is open to students in all majors.

 

The mind is called ʻmom tune ay chi kunʼ. ʻMom tune ay chi kunʼ is the sacred place inside each one of us where no one else can go. It is in this place that each one of us can dream, fantasize, create and, yes, even talk to the grandfathers and grandmothers. The thoughts and images that come from this place are called ʻmom tune ay chi kunaʼ, which means wisdoms, and they can be given to others in stories, songs, dances and art. Stories are called ʻachimoonaʼ, songs are ʻnugamoonaʼ, dances are ʻneemeetoonaʼ and art is ʻtatsinaikewinʼ. They sound almost the same, donʼt they? That is because all these words, describe gifts that come from the sacred place inside (Maria Campbell, 1985).

 

Art and aesthetic is the creative force of people and their worldviews. “Indian” art and aesthetic is an interpretation and expression of life by the Indigenous peoples of North America. While numerous Indigenous peoples reside in the western hemisphere, this class introduces you to the aesthetic universe of peoples who are currently known as American Indian, Alaskan Native and some Canadian First Nations. This class will provide you an abundance of thought, expression, stories, dance, art and art objects, film, and music to consider. The intent is to invite you into the sounds, motions, objects, spirit and colors that are the aesthetic universe of Native North America.

 (As most of you know, I often advise completing most/all of the chem sequence before taking the BIOL 180 series)

Are you enrolling in BIOL 180 this Winter and interested in an additional laboratory research experience designed to accompany BIOL 180?  We invite you to join BIOL 482 during Winter ’17, in which a team of 24 students will collaborate to explore antibiotic resistance -- an area of science that highlights connections amongst evolutionary biology, molecular biology, and public health.  Our experiments will address questions that have not yet been fully investigated by professional scientists, and our work may uncover results that are relevant for clinical treatment of bacterial infections.  

 

­Although the Time Schedule course description sounds like an upper-level research experience, fear not:  BIOL 482 is designed specifically for Introductory Biology students, and we especially encourage students who do not have prior research experience to participate in this opportunity. 

 

 

 

First meeting: Tuesday, January 3, 2017. 

Laboratory: Tuesdays, 10:30am-12:20pm.

Section: 2 Wednesdays: Jan. 11th & Feb. 1st, 10:30am-12:20pm:

The Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program at The University of Washington(DDCSP@UW) is now accepting applications for the 2017-2018 cohort!

 

DDCSP@UW is a paid, multi-summer, undergraduate experiential learning program that explores conservation across climate, water, food and ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. 

 

A primary goal of the program is to expand what it means to be a “conservation professional.” By connecting conservation to cultural identity, biodiversity and environmental justice DDCSP@UW supports emerging scholars as they develop understandings, skills and perspectives needed to become a conservation change-maker.  What does this mean? Watch this video!

 

The first year experience begins in Seattle and travels through various cultural and ecological landscapes in Washington, from the Olympic Peninsula to the Salish Sea and across the Cascade Mountains into the Yakima Valley, learning about emerging and ongoing issues in conservation along the way. Read more about the first year "Classroom in the Field" here.

 

We’re looking for 20 freshmen and sophomores to join us for an 8-week conservation immersion course.  (*If you know of an upper-level undergraduate student, please read about other opportunities for them at the end of this email).

 

Scholars can be from any and all majors (including “undecided”). In fact, we’re specifically looking for a broad mix of students with varying interests, skills and perspectives whodemonstrate a commitment to the environment, equity and inclusion and are curious, creative and enthusiastic. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizen, permanent resident or have DACA status granted by the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services.  (For more on DACA, refer to this link). 

 

 

 

Application opens: November 14,2016

Application deadline: January 31, 2017

Notified: Early March

Program begins: June 19, 2017 (Travel day June 18th)

Program ends: August 11, 2017 (Travel August 12th) 

 

 

*If you know an upper-level undergraduate student or a beginning graduate student looking for an internship, please direct them to the George Melendez Wright Young Leaders in Climate Change, a program sponsored by the UW College of the Environment and the National Park Service. 

 

* There are a total of five DDCSP programs nationally.  See information on other sites here.

 

If yes, come to one of the six information sessions for The Washington Center that are scheduled for November 15th and 16th in Gowen Hall, Room 1A (on the ground floor):

 

Tuesday, November 15, GWN 1A

   930-1020

The Washington Center (TWC) runs an internship program in Washington, D.C., that is open to all UW students (all majors welcome) and provides comprehensive service, including internship placement and housing. Placements include government agencies, corporations, nonprofits, museums, arts organizations, and international organizations. Hundreds of UW students have participated in this program since UW's affiliation in 1977, and many made connections that led to post-degree employment.

 

At the informational meetings, a Washington Center representative and I will discuss the structure of the program, scholarships, the application process, and UW credit.

 

The program is affordable for many students. UW WA State residents receive a

$2500 scholarship that makes the cost of attending the program comparable to participating in many study abroad programs. UW international students and residents of other states receive a $1000 scholarship and pay less for this program than the estimated cost of attending UW for a quarter. Additional discounts may be available for students interested in the autumn or spring semester programs.

 

TWC's facilities are accessible to students who have disabilities. In addition, their Disability Services Coordinator will assist with accommodation at the internship and programming sites.

 

These are the upcoming application deadlines (for a full list of organizations that have earlier deadlines see http://www.twc.edu/node/11029):

  Spring 2017 (15 weeks): Regular: 11/16/16

  Summer 2017 (10 weeks), Priority*: 2/15/17, Regular: 3/15/17

  Autumn 2017 (15 weeks), Priority*: 5/3/17, Regular: 6/7/17

   * Priority deadline is for scholarships above the minimum guaranteed

 

Regardless of your major, there is an internship in D.C. for you! Whether you want to do an internship this year or in three years, come to an information session to learn more.

 

If you can't make it, contact me, Meera Roy, for an appointment (available online at https://depts.washington.edu/polsadvc/signup.php -- you can change the week at the top of the screen--or you can email me for an appointment time). Information is also available at TWC's website, www.twc.edu

Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay 'di makararating sa paroroonan. (One who ignores the past arrives nowhere).
 -Filipino proverb

 

Did you know that Filipino-Americans are the second largest Asian-American group in the United States? Why then do we know virtually nothing about Filipino-Americans in society? How is the prevalence of skin whitening products in the Philippines connected to this invisibility and the Philippine diaspora?

 

This course will answer these questions (and many more) by utilizing three distinct elements. The first is history, an examination of factors and events that led to the miseducation of the Filipinx. This investigation is followed by a process of self-reflection and "reconnecting with the past to understand the present and be able to envision the future" (Strobel, 2001, p. 63). Finally, we channel this introspection into a creative project to be used for teaching members of the community.

 

This course can provide any ethnic group with tools for their own social justice work. While it's not required, we encourage you to consider staying in the class for both winter and spring quarters.  In winter we will learn and deconstruct Filipinx history, and in the spring we will do some community outreach and teach out Filipino-American history to schools and communities.

 

English 115 Writing Studios are designed to support multilingual students enrolled in any Composition ("C") course. 

 

This is a course designed to support your writing and it will not affect your GPA score.

 

Students who have enrolled in Writing Studios in the past have had extremely positive experiences, and all Studio courses are taught by instructors with expertise in Composition and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). 

 

The Writing Studio provides excellent additional writing support on skills being developed in the "C" course, and on American academic culture and language.
 
 These Studios close at 10 students, providing an intimate and supportive community of learners.  There are 5 writing studios this coming quarter (Winter 2017). No add codes are required. All 115 sections meet two hours per week and are 2 credits.

This 6 week residential program targets underrepresented and disadvantaged freshman and sophomore college students interested in the health professions. SHPEP’s goal is to strengthen the academic proficiency and career development of students underrepresented in the health professions and prepare them for a successful application and matriculation to health professions schools.  

 

This program is housed at 13 campuses across the nation. Each site provides scholars with academic enrichment in the basic sciences and math, clinical experiences, career development activities, learning and study skills seminars, and financial planning. The UW program provides housing, room and board, a $600 stipend paid in two installments, and travel assistance.  

 

The application process opened November 1, and for the first time is open to DACA students as well.  The deadline for priority consideration is February 1.

 

To apply online and for additional information, you can visit the national site at shpep.org.  If you have any questions about the UW program please feel free to contact me, or refer students to me directly.

 

We look forward to having your students in our program!

Instructor: Laura Evans

Meets: Tuesdays, 10:00-12:50 pm

 

Description: There are over 560 American Indian tribal governments in the United States, including 29 federally recognized tribes in Washington. American Indian tribal governments are long-standing, legally-recognized sovereign powers with land bases that they govern. They shape the lives of some of the nation's most vulnerable citizens and affect the interests of nearby local and state governments. This class will review how tribal governments work and how they interact with other governments in the United States. It will consider their legal status as self-governing sovereigns and the realpolitik of on-the-ground power.

 

If you care how environmental protection, social policy, and economic development play out in any of the 34 states with federally-recognized tribes, you should be paying attention to what American Indian tribal governments are doing. If you think you understand public management, program design, and program implementation in the US, this class has surprises in store for you. The successes of some tribal casinos have lured many outside observers into thinking that gambling revenue alone can somehow mend the devastation of culture, community, natural resources, and sacred spaces. The reality is quite different. This course will sort out the stereotypes from the truths of America's Native Nations today. observeO����@8

I work at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Washington.  Each summer we host a number of college students who participate in the Student Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program, sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE).  The SULI program encourages undergraduate students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences under the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers on projects supporting the DOE mission.

 

Applications are now open for the 2017 Summerand we would like to encourage as many students to apply to work at PNNL.  The deadline is January 13, 2017.  The following link provides students with information on how to apply: http://science.energy.gov/wdts/suli/how-to-apply/.  

 

At PNNL our core capabilities are chemical and molecular sciences; chemical engineering; biological systems science; climate change science; environmental subsurface science; applied materials science and engineering; applied nuclear science and technology; advanced computer science, visualization, and data; systems engineering and integration; and large-scale user facilities/advanced instrumentation. The Marine Sciences Laboratory, at PNNL’s Sequim Marine Research Operations on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula, is DOE’s only marine research laboratory. There, scientists develop innovations to address ocean-driven energy, marine resource impacts, and coastal security threats.

 

We hope you can encourage as many students to apply for this once in a lifetime experience.

Historical practices mandated the cultural assimilation and colonization of North American Indigenous peoples, but according to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, the inevitable legacy of colonialism is likely to influence every aspect of the lives of the subjugated persons for eternity. This course will examine 1) the foundations of psychological colonization and 2) how understanding these foundations can provide a roadmap for ameliorating the ongoing disruptions to self and identity development, families, education, and the future development of tribal communities. Theoretical and empirical evidence will be drawn from the experiences of indigenous communities in the U.S. and Canada, and at times from other colonized groups from around the world. A central issues throughout the course is whether and how the techniques and technologies of contemporary psychology should be appropriately adapted and/or adopted for use in Indigenous cultural communities.  This course is designed for upper-level students who have had at least one course in American Indian Studies.

Standing Together: Tribal Canoe Journey Field Study at Cape Mudge and Campbell River, British Columbia is a response to the official invitation from the We Wai Kai and We Wai Kum Nations of British Columbia, presented at the Paddle to Nisqually this year at the culmination of the annual Tribal Canoe Journey on August 6, 2016, we quote the invitation here, so that the intention of our host will be clear:

The coastal waters of British Columbia have sustained our peoples since time immemorial, providing access to precious resources and connecting our communities to one another. This common thread weaves our histories, stories, art and families togeth er and helps ensure our cultural traditions thrive with each new generation.

The canoes will arrive into Cape Mudge on Saturday, August 5th and into Campbell River on August 7th. On both occasions, public community feasts will be held. We anticipate between seventy-five and one-hundred canoes will participate and an additional 5,000 guests will line the shores to witness history in the making.

We hope that you will join us on the beach as the canoes are called in and formally welcomed to our territory. What a tremendous opportunity this represents in the building and nourishing of intercultural and cross cultural relationships. Your participation serves to strengthen our nation and our peoples, and demonstrates our unified commitment to working together for the common good.

This program is open to all students, of all levels, faculty, and staff, from all campuses at the University of Washington, and other universities. We also encourage the participation of the community, and will accept non-matriculating students.

2017 is the second year of CASE’s Advancement Internship Program. This year, we will be hosting three CASE Advancement Interns at the UW to expand the pool of diverse professionals in the field of fundraising, alumni relations and University communications and marketing. We need your help in promoting this internship! If you know of prospective students who might be a fit for this experience, please encourage them to apply right away.  

 

 

Do you see yourself as a people person, relationship builder, motivator, good communicator … someone who is passionate about a good cause? Are you a liberal arts major (all majors are welcome) trying to create a career pathway? If so, this CASE summer internship opportunity is for you! 

 

So who are advancement professionals and what do we do?  We work in alumni relations, marketing and communications, and fundraising.  We’re the influencers, listeners, facilitators, advisors, writers, strategists, fundraisers, community builders, and relationship stewards of the university.

Most of us have liberal arts degrees and have used those Theater, English, Political Science, Elementary Education, Psychology, Marketing (and you name it) degrees to make an impact in the lives of current students, alumni, donors, and friends. If you’re interested in what we do—there’s a great opportunity through the UW CASE Advancement Internship program to learn more.  

Ideal candidates:

·         Though all students may apply, the internship timing would be best for sophomores or juniors

·         Students active in clubs and organizations

·         Individuals with an interest in marketing, community building, advocacy and philanthropy

·         Student leaders

·         Individuals interested in social justice 

·         Candidates based in the Seattle area, or with the ability to find housing in the Seattle area (no housing stipend is provided for the internship)

 

CASE is seeking to diversify and increase the number of professionals in educational advancement. The CASE Advancement Internship program is designed to attract students (undergraduate and graduate) who may not have previously considered a career in institutional advancement.  This includes higher education development/fundraising, alumni relations, marketing and communications.

 

Quote from 2016 UW CASE Advancement Intern:

 

The intern would work with us here at the UW and receive:

·         Experience at a premier education institution

·         A $5,000 stipend

·         All expenses paid training to Washington, DC (June 2017)

·         Complimentary CASE ASAP Network Convention registration

·         Participation in introductory CASE advancement webinars

·         A book allowance from the CASE bookstore

·         A CASE mentor from the Minority Advancement Institute

 

 

To apply, go to CASE’s Advancement Internship Website:

http://www.case.org/Career_Central/Career_Programs/CASE_Advancement_Internship_Program.html 

 

Internship timing:

The 2017 UW CASE Advancement Internship begins on Monday, June 12th and concludes on Friday, July 28th.

 

I just wanted to let you know that we are set to go for the Academy here in Seattle. I would love to coordinate with you on student recruitment for the event. I am continuously seeking sponsors for the event so that the cost of attendance is free for students but unfortunately we do not have funding for transportation. We would have room for about 120 students and it would be great if we could get at least half of the students from Eastern WA and some of the more outlying counties. Please let me know what we can do to accommodate students. We can’t hold spots forever but we can certainly work with you so that we can have good representation from the different regions. I will be getting the applications ready for circulation in the next few days. Feel free to share the announcement now with students and counselors so that they can start reserving the date. If you know of others that can spread the word to students, feel free to share the announcement. Thanks!

Students will take a five-credit course that focuses on the colonial history of conservation, sustainable land use and the political economy and cultural dimensions of tourism. Students will also study Swahili, the national language of Tanzania.

I am once again teaching the Law 305 course in spring 2017 and just want to send out a reminder.  The description is below and I have attached it as a Word document also.  Please broadcast this information widely.

 

 

This newly revised undergraduate course explores leading issues in global health and the human right to health.  Specifically it focuses on injustices that occur around the world resulting in disease, disability and death. Using a justice framework, the course will consider social determinants of health and vulnerabilities that exist among populations and sub-populations, such as women, children, people with disabilities or HIV and the poor. Special attention will be given to low and middle income country health problems and struggles to attain healthy populations. Students will learn about the Sustainable Development Goals, international human rights law, and the pivotal role that law and legal infrastructure play in addressing injustices in health.

 

The course is most appropriate for juniors and seniors who have taken introductory courses in health and/or justice.  Others require approval from the instructor before enrolling.

 

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

Let’s Talk is a program that connects UW students with support from experienced counselors from the Counseling Center and Hall Health Center, without an appointment. Counselors hold drop-in hours at two sites on campus.

Talking with a counselor can help provide insight, solutions, and information about other resources.
 Let’s Talk drop-in visits are:

Tuesdays, 2-4PM
Ethnic Cultural Center
Iris Song, PsyD

Wednesdays, 2-4PM
Q Center
Kate Fredenberg, LICSW

Appointments are first-come, first-served. The counselor will listen closely to your concerns and provide support, perspective, and suggestions for resources.

Let’s Talk is different from ongoing counseling. Let’s Talk is not formal counseling: it is a drop-in service where students can have an informal consultation with a counselor.

Topics can include relationships, financial and academic stress, oppression, intersecting identities, body image, family problems and other concerns.

There is no wrong reason to seek counseling through Let’s Talk, the Counseling Center, or Hall Health Center. However, Let’s Talk is an especially good fit for students who:

1.      Are not sure about counseling and wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor

2.      Are not interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a counselor

3.      Have a specific problem and would like someone with whom to talk it through

4.      Have a concern about a friend and want some thoughts about what to do

ROOTS Young Adult Shelter will facilitate their workshop, The Ropes: Understanding and Engaging Youth Homelessness, for the University of Washington community twice during winter quarter. This workshop addresses youth and young adult homelessness in an interactive and informative three-hour training. Join us to learn more about causes and characteristics of youth homelessness, the nature of street life and culture, and tools for engaging with at-risk youth and young adults.

Please forward widely as this workshop provides an excellent opportunity to gain additional insight into the causes and effects of homelessness, allowing those in attendance to be better equipped to advocate for and engage with those experiencing homelessness in our community.

Thursday, February 23rd from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. in Mary Gates Hall 258

We would love to know who’s coming! Please take a moment to RSVP HERE.

Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center on Thursday, February 16 from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm to learn more about the factors and issues that contribute to and surround the day to day lives of those who are homeless, as graciously shared by individuals who are experiencing homelessness.

Real Change provides immediate employment opportunities for low-income and homeless individuals, while taking action for economic, social, and racial justice. Their Homeless Speakers Bureau includes homeless and formerly homeless people who speak about their experiences in order to educate the public, facilitate conversation, and inspire social action in regards to homelessness. The panel discussion will include stories from each of our panel participants and opportunities for questions and answers. 

Understanding issues such as homelessness on a human level is a crucial first step in addressing its social and systemic foundations. Please join us to learn from community members who are willing to share their lived experiences with the campus community. Refreshments will be provided and eyes will be opened!

I hope this email finds you in good spirits. I wanted to send this study abroad opportunity! Hopefully we can get some of our students to apply as well!

Hope all is well with you! I attached the flyer to this email.
 

I’m doing  my final push for Global Opportunities scholarships for undergraduate study abroad.  If you advise students who plan to study abroad in summer, early fall or fall,  there is still time for these students to apply for a scholarship to support their studies.  The GO!, Fritz, and STEMxChange scholarship programs are still accepting applications.    International students as well as students who are in the process of declaring a Humanities and Social Sciences major, but whose major will not be formally recognized by the Registrar’s Office until spring quarter can still apply for the Fritz if they meet the other application requirements.  The application deadline for all three programs is Feb. 15th.  Students can find out more by visiting goglobal.uw.edu or by viewing the attached flier.  Students do not have to submit their study abroad applications before applying for a scholarship.   They should work on both concurrently.  

 

Thank you,

Incredible India is undergoing an exhilarating economic transformation.  This program will immerse students in the Subcontinent’s vibrant culture and entrepreneurial spirit as we visit with the new kinds of leaders who have found ways to bring prosperity to a country where most people live in poverty and deep-rooted customs and practices can block social change.  Women in particular are bucking tradition to assume leadership roles at an astonishing rate. In the process, they are transforming the way global government and development groups think about how to fight poverty.  This program will explore the role of women in society, business and the global context of emerging economies.
