Barber Theater Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare Directed by Danielle Roos January 31–February 9 Josephine Louis Theater Information and tickets at communication.northwestern.edu/wirtz The Waa-Mu Show is vying for global design domination. The set design for the 88th annual production, For the Record, called for a massive 11-foot-diameter rotating globe suspended above the stage and wrapped in the masthead of the show’s fictional newspaper, the Chicago Offering. Northwestern’s set, scenery, and paint shops are located in the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts, but Waa-Mu is performed in Cahn Auditorium. How to pull off such a planetary transplant? By deflating Earth. The globe began as a plain white (albeit custom-built) inflatable balloon, but after its initial multisection muslin wrap was created (to determine shrinkage), it was deflated, rigged, reinflated, motorized, map-designed, taped for a paint mask, primed, painted, and unpeeled to reveal computer-generated, to-scale continents.

  • Fall 2017 Newsletter Volume XXI • Number 1
    Musings Fall 2017 Newsletter Volume XXI • Number 1 1 From the Chair t has been another extremely busy year for the English Department! As described in better detail on the facing page, we have added a simply extraordinary trio of colleagues to the Department’s faculty: Natasha Trethewey (two term Poet Laureate of the U.S. and a Pulitzer Prize winner); Tristram I th th Wolff (specialist in 18 -/19 -Century British literature, Comparative and Transatlantic Romanticisms, and environmental humanities); and, in happy collaboration with the Asian American Studies Program where she holds a joint appointment, Michelle Huang (specialist in contemporary Asian American literature, posthumanism, and feminist science studies). We saw a new degree program, an MFA+MA (in creative writing and English literature), through the long approval process. This program will create new bridges between these two parts of our operations, and we will be conducting the first round of admissions for it this season. The Department also completed a major Self Study and external review process, which was the source of enormous encouragement about our strengths and trajectory and also of new and creative prompts for us to think ourselves and our programs forward, into what will -- soon enough! -- be the middle part of the 21st century. It’s been a very good year for us! Laurie Shannon Franklyn Bliss Snyder Professor of Literature A Word from EGSO As Evanston prepares for winter we would like to take a moment to think back over the year past. We began the 2016-2017 academic year with our annual Fall Collation, during which Department Chair Laurie Shannon welcomed us back and gave us counsel on the importance of monotasking— nurturing the deep concentration necessary to do work well.

  • EPLAN 2016-2021 Community Health Assessment
    EPLAN: Creating A Healthier Evanston, Community Health Assessment Page 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A thank you to the members of the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) Operations Team and the Evanston Health Advisory Council for all of their work and input into the EPLAN: Creating a Healthier Evanston Community Health Assessment and Improvement Plan. The development of this plan could not have been done without them. Thanks also to all of the MAPP Operations Team members, who were integral in planning and executing all of the assessments; Brina Auguste, Carl Caneva, Dr. Bruce Doblin, Christina Ferguson, Elizabeth Lassiter, Indira Perkins, Charlotte Picard, Kristin Preihs, Maitreyi Sistla, and Dr. Don Zeigler. Sincerely, Evonda Thomas-Smith, City of Evanston Health & Human Services Department, Director EPLAN: Creating A Healthier Evanston, Community Health Assessment Page 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In order for the City of Evanston’s Health and Human Services Department to recertify as one of the four recognized local municipal health departments, the Illinois Department of Public Health requires a local assessment and strategic health plan for the next five years. Illinois refers to this process as IPLAN, the Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Needs. While local health departments conduct their own needs assessments, the state uses the findings from the local processes to conduct a state-wide needs assessment and develop a plan for the entire State of Illinois. In Evanston, we refer to our local process as EPLAN, the Evanston Process for the Local Assessment of Needs. EPLAN is designed to prioritize top health needs so that public health resources can be directed most effectively toward health improvement.
