January 2008 Archives
Next week there will be a number of events going on around campus as part of Focus The Nation - an effort to get people information about global warming. I encourage all students to try to attend at least one event (partial schedule below), and to participate in the Transportation Challenge.
The Transportation Challenge is to encourage everyone to not drive on Thursday January 31. It is an opportunity for those who regularly drive to get to campus by some other means - bus, PCC, Shuttle, walk, bike or carpool.
Here are the links to the Trimet Trip Planner and the PCC Shuttle Schedule,
For one day - Thursday January 31 - try an alternate transportation method if you regularly drive.

The Sylvania campus is honored to have Andrew "One'staa" Morrison (Haida and Apache Nations) on campus this week. He is a muralist and will be doing lectures and demonstrations on campus. He has been invited to campus in conjunction with the PCC Annual Winter Powwow which is taking place this Saturday (1/19/08 noon-10:30pm in the HT Gym).
Andrew Morrison will be doing presentations:

I encourage everyone to stop by for a while to see Mr. Morrison's work and hear what he has to say.
I will make 5 points extra credit available for students who spend some time with Mr. Morrison and viewing his work, and then write a brief (one-two paragraph) response to one culturally significant thing you learned from him or his art.
