TASK FORCE REPORT March 2017
Equity & Inclusion TASK FORCE REPORT March 2017 N THE SPRING OF 2016, spurred by a surge in student activism amid escalating tensions over racial climates on university campuses around the nation, Willamette president Steve Thorsett sent a message to the community to share his thoughts regard- ing diversity, equity and inclusion at Willamette. He said that in the past, there had Ibeen numerous attempts to create a chief diversity officer or similar position to direct these efforts, but that disagreements over the job description or structure impeded discussions from moving forward. Also, while there are a number of effective efforts to support diversity already taking place on campus, he noted that “... a commitment to access and even to diversity is not enough, and that moving beyond diversity to embrace equity and inclusion is critical if Willamette is to live up to its own values and motto. And building an inclusive community is very hard. Goodwill and commitment are important, but not enough.” President Thorsett charged a task force of students, faculty and staff to evaluate the desirabil- ity of creating a position focused on advancing equity and inclusion on campus (what many campuses refer to as a Vice President for Equity and Inclusion or Chief Diversity Officer [CDO]), and, if there is concurrence, to recommend to him the goals, scope and structure of such a position. The members of the president’s Equity and Inclusion Task Force agreed to complete the following: • Review the organization’s previous reports, plans and discussions -

Media Highlights January–March 2002
Media Highlights January–March 2002 This summary highlights prominent media placements UCSC has garnered during the period of January through March 2002. International New findings on the migrations of white sharks by biologist Burney Le Boeuf, graduate student Scott Davis, and others received widespread media coverage, including stories in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, San Jose Mercury News, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, the Daily Telegraph in London, and the Scotsman. Television coverage included stations KCBA, KION, and Tech TV. Economist Lori Kletzer was interviewed by the BBC Radio’s Weekend World Today show about Ford Motor Company’s job cuts. Professor of molecular, cell, and developmental biology Bill Sullivan, whose research on the cell cycle uses high-tech movies of living cells, was featured in online news stories at Discovery.com and BioMedNet.com. Sullivan was also interviewed recently for a BBC TV documentary, along with Harry Noller, Sinsheimer Professor of Molecular Biology. Several UCSC researchers were mentioned in stories in a recent issue of New Scientist magazine: astronomers Greg Laughlin and Don Korycansky in a story about planetary orbits, and physics professor Joel Primack in a story about dark matter and dark energy in the universe. Professor of astronomy and astrophysics Douglas Lin was featured in a story in New Scientist magazine about planets outside the solar system. Terrie Williams, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and Lynn Benson Professor of Ocean Health, was featured in news stories about her research in Antarctica, studying the behavior of Weddell seals as they dive for food beneath the sea ice. -
Academic Catalog Welcome to Western Seminary
2017-2018 ACADEMIC CATALOG WELCOME TO WESTERN SEMINARY Greetings from all of us at Western Seminary. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better by reviewing the information in this catalog. Catalog text, however, by its very nature rarely captures the heart and dynamic of an institution. So let me try to help you understand up front what Western is about. Our mission is to train men and women to be faithful and fruitful agents of spiritual transformation in the lives of others. Confident in the uniquely transforming power of the biblical gospel, and knowing how to communicate God’s truth and love in both word and deed, our graduates are well-equipped to play key roles in the outworking of the Church’s mission. Their role may focus on a pulpit, a mission field, a counseling center, a classroom, the marketplace, or some other venue; regardless of the setting, Western grads know how to be salt and light in it. That redemptive impact depends on empowerment from the Holy Spirit. Such empowerment is most likely to be experienced when followers of Christ model personal godliness as they submit their lives to the truths revealed in Scripture and join the Lord in the outworking of His salvific mission. Biblically-grounded, Christ-focused and gift-based ministry emerges, as does an atmosphere marked by both grace and gratitude. These values represent the heart of “Gospel-centered transformation.” If you too aspire to be that kind of catalyst and resource for spiritual renewal, then investigating what God is doing at Western is well worth your time. -

Introduction
Cambridge University Press 0521828236 - Handbook of Pulsar Astronomy D. R. Lorimer and M. Kramer Excerpt More information Introduction Radio pulsars – rapidly rotating highly magnetised neutron stars – are fascinating objects to study. Weighing more than our Sun, yet only 20 km in diameter, these incredibly dense objects produce radio beams that sweep the sky like a lighthouse. Since their discovery by Jocelyn Bell- Burnell and Antony Hewish at Cambridge in 1967 (Hewish et al. 1968), over 1600 have been found. Pulsars provide a wealth of information about neutron star physics, general relativity, the Galactic gravitational potential and magnetic field, the interstellar medium, celestial mechan- ics, planetary physics and even cosmology. Milestones of radio pulsar astronomy Pulsar research has been driven by numerous surveys with large ra- dio telescopes over the years. As well as improving the overall census of neutron stars, these searches have discovered exciting new objects, e.g. pulsars in binary systems. Often, the new discoveries have driven designs for further surveys and detection techniques to maximise the use of available resources. The landmark discoveries so far are: • The Cambridge discovery of pulsars (Hewish et al. 1968). Hewish’s contributions to radio astronomy, including this discovery, were recog- nised later with his co-receipt of the 1974 Nobel Prize for Physics with Martin Ryle. • The first binary pulsar B1913+161 by Russell Hulse and Joseph Taylor at Arecibo in 1974 (Hulse & Taylor 1975). This pair of neutron stars 1 Pulsars are named with a PSR prefix followed by a ‘B’ or a ‘J’ and their celestial coordinates. Pulsars discovered before 1990 usually are referred to by their ‘B’ names (Besselian system, epoch 1950). -
