  • Stay-Home-Coming 2020 Celebration” Scheduled Next Week, October 19 – 23 That Mr
    Published every Wednesday! Good Day, Highlanders! October brings blustery days and definite signs of autumn. We have reached the midpoint of 1st quarter and teachers have updated their grades in Power School. Please check out Power School for your student’s midterm 1st quarter academic progress. We conducted a teacher training last week on how to streamline the assignments in Microsoft Teams to then be transferred to Power School which continues to be the student data system we use to record grades and construct transcripts. We recognize that navigating these digital platforms can be challenging so always feel comfortable emailing the classroom teacher if you have questions. Our teachers are attempting to reach out to every student who has not completed assignments so far and a partnership with parents/guardians is welcome. Last week I shared with the Shadle Staff an article titled, Professor Ahmad’s Six-Month Wall: Rehumanizing The Virtual Workplace by Nancy Doyle which described how to cope with the ongoing pandemic from the perspective of Dr. Aisha Ahmad, Professor of Political Science of the University of Toronto. In part, the article states: Human Beings, Not Human Doings Your individual coping strategies are unique to you. We are all different in what works, what provides solace, so encourage your team to share ideas. However, we are all the same in this pandemic in worrying about the future, wondering what will happen to our transport, social structures, and economic paradigms. There will be losses. We know that some of the most inspirational stories will surely emerge as we emerge, the businesses who are innovating right now in chrysalis.

HOMECOMING DAY EVENTS - ---;:,._pages 6 and 7 Sciturclay, Oct. 22, 1966 STATEMENT On November 8, Eastern's building plans will go to the people, in the form of Referendum 15. Of the forty millions asked for by the legislature, Eastern will re­ ceive almost four. So far, no organized movement has appeared to oppose the bond issue. Well, but will it pass then? I think we are entitled to guarded optimism-but not complacency. A similar measure, Referendum 10, failed in Spokane County in 1958 by a margin of 7,621 votes. Of the sixteen easternmost counties in Washington, only six favored the proprosal-though a large affirmative voice in King County saved the bond issue at that time. Advocates of Referendum 15 in eastern \Vashington, how­ ever, probably will not wish to depend so heavily upon their v,restern counterparts this year.

  • Faculty Scholarship at Whitworth University – May 2014-May 2015 –
    Faculty Scholarship at Whitworth University – May 2014-May 2015 – Faculty Scholarship at Whitworth The Whitworth faculty includes 156 Christian teacher-scholars who engage in research, writing Who We Are and creative performance to advance their understanding of the world, to enrich their teaching, to share their discoveries, and to bring new information and insights into their classrooms. Organizations beyond our campus recognize the high quality of our faculty scholarship; many support Whitworth research programs. Whitworth faculty members have received grants from a broad range of organizations, including Fulbright Scholarship in Residence, The Lilly Foundations, the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Welch Family Foundation. Whitworth faculty members are engaged in a wide array of research, creative production What We Do and performance, and scholarly projects. The work of our natural scientists ranges from research into celiac disease to the brooding habitat of the greater sage-grouse to potential medications for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to space-flight propulsion. Scholars in the humanities publish poetry, examine the work of Franciscans in China, explore the writing of Great Awakening figure George Whitefield, examine intellectual virtues, and discuss religious activism as part of the Civil Rights Movement in the Northwest. Social scientists measure the success of HIV/AIDS non-government organizations among Nairobi’s youth, analyze media coverage of law and faith, explore the emerging church, and describe effective means to teach literacy. And faculty in the arts perform, contribute to exhibits, write about microcontrollers and music, create arrangements for jazz ensembles, and contribute to the field of theatre technology.
