PART 1 OF 3 On the search A DUTY TO SERVE for the next big idea By TYLER McAVOY The Breeze Students can have a say in JMU’s direction for the next seven years. The Quality Enhancement Plan is a program designed to allow the JMU community to submit ideas on the future of student education. e program began taking suggestions from faculty and students on Nov. “This is really for the students,” said Lee Sternberger, associate pro- vost and chair of the QEP Committee. “Students will be the largest benefac- tor of whatever is implemented.” The program, which is required for reaccreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, is meant to establish better education by holding an open forum. Reaccred- itation occurs every years, with a ve year review in between by SACS. A diploma from an accredited school is required for many graduate pro- grams, and only accredited schools receive federal student nancial aid.

Ferraro: The Extraordinary Life of John Sutter The Extraordinary Life of John Sutter by Nicholas Ferraro John Sutter The story of John August Sutter is an account of an ambitious indi­ vidual who was motivated by opportunity, blinded by optimism and damned by destiny. John Sutter was trapped in an endless cycle of great triumph and failure throughout his life. As a Swiss immigrant to North America, Sutter was an influential figure in the history of the American Frontier, Mexican California, and the California Gold Rush. He was the quintessential foreign-born pioneer of the American West. Despite the antagonistic social, geographical, and legal forces, Sutter never lost his determination. Although he was one of the central agents in the start of the California Gold Rush, he was ultimately unable to capitalize on his findings. Ironically, the unearthing of gold at Sutter's Mill was the origin of his tragic downfall.

Farnham ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to explore the ways in which working-class Kānaka Hawai’i (Hawaiian) immigrants in the nineteenth century repurposed and repackaged precontact Hawai’i strategies of accommodation and resistance in their migration towards North America and particularly within California. The arrival of European naturalists, American missionaries, and foreign merchants in the Hawaiian Islands is frequently attributed for triggering this diaspora. However, little has been written about why Hawaiian immigrants themselves chose to migrate eastward across the Pacific or their reasons for permanent settlement in California. Like the ali’i on the Islands, Hawaiian commoners in the diaspora exercised agency in their accommodation and resistance to Pacific imperialism and colonialism as well. Blending labor history, religious history, and anthropology, this thesis adopts an interdisciplinary and ethnohistorical approach that utilizes Hawaiian-language newspapers, American missionary letters, and oral histories from California’s indigenous peoples.

  • See PDF History
    History According to California Indian traditional beliefs, their ancestors were created here and have lived here forever. Most anthropologists believe California Indians descended from people who crossed from Asia into North America over a land bridge that joined the two continents late in the Pleistocene Epoch. It is thought that Native Americans lived here for 15 millenia before the first European explorer sailed California's coast in the 1500s. European explorers came to California initially in a search for what British explorers called the Northwest Passage and what the Spaniards called the Strait of Anián. In any event, it was an attempt to find a shortcut between Asia's riches -- silk, spices, jewels -- and Europe that drove the discovery voyages. The now famous voyage of Columbus in 1492 was an attempt to find this mythical shortcut. Forty-seven years after Columbus's voyage, Francisco de Ulloa led an expedition from Acapulco that sought a non-existent passage from the Gulf of California through to the Pacific Ocean. California was thought to be an island, in large part probably due to a Spanish novel called Las Sergas de Esplandián (The Exploits of Esplandián) written by Garcí Rodríguez Ordóñez de Montalvo. The "island" of California is depicted in this map. Montalvo's mythical island of California was populated by a tribe of J. Speed. "The Island of California: California as black women who lived like Amazons. Early explorers apparently an Island Map," from America (Map of America named the Baja California peninsula after the mythical island, and in made in London in 1626 or 1676).

    Pedagogy of Distance: Touch in Education by Maria Ellene Dimas B.Ed., University of British Columbia, 2002 Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Arts Education Program Faculty of Education Maria Ellene Dimas 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2015 Approval Name: Maria Ellene Dimas Degree: Master of Arts (Education) Title of Thesis: Pedagogy of Distance: Touch in Education Examining Committee: Chair: Michael Ling Senior Lecturer Celeste Snowber Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Lynn Fels Supervisor Associate Professor Stephen Smith Internal/External Examiner Associate Professor Date Defended/Approved: December 2, 2015 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract Pedagogical touch is becoming an endangered species in the learning environments we create with our students. Many school districts are adopting no- touch policies without considering the social and emotional implications for students. Through ethnodramatic, performative and autoethnographic writing, difficult questions are posed. Are interpersonal physical connections between students and educators an important and valuable expression in the pedagogical relationship? What personal, experiential and/or institutional considerations influence the pedagogical choices that teachers make in using touch? Does fear play a role in making these pedagogical decisions? Does gender matter? This body of work is divided into two sections. The first piece consists of an ethnodrama titled “You Were Warned.” The play deals with the complexities of touch and teacher’s lives in the politicized school environment, drawn from interviews with educators. The second piece contextualizes the ethnodrama and work as a whole. This section also explores the methodological underpinnings that gave me permission to engage with the data through ethnodrama, performative writing, autoethnography and how these methodologies mediated my struggle with finding voice.

  • Story of Water in Sacramento Is Incredibly Complex, and Constantly Evolving
    Sacramento’s Story of Water by Chris Lopez of Grow Water www.GrowWater.org Sacramento lies at the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers, and is the capital city of the state of California. The current population of Sacramento County is around 1.5 million who consume between 110- 270 gallons of water per person per day. Historical rainfall averages between 17 ½ - 19 inches of rain per year, which falls primarily between the months of October through April. This is a stark difference in precipitation when compared to the nearby Sierra foothills, which receive between 30-65 inches of rain per year as well as varying degrees of snowfall, which does not occur at the lower elevations of the Sacramento Valley. The Sacramento River, and its watershed, is California’s most precious resource. “The future of California is joined at the hip with the Sacramento River” says University of California geologist, Dr. Jeff Mount. The Sacramento River has always been a “river of life” and never more so than right now. Located in central northern California, the Sacramento River is the largest river system and basin in the state. The 27,000 square mile watershed includes the eastern slopes of the Coast Ranges, Mount Shasta, and the western slopes of the southernmost region of the Cascades and the northern portion of the Sierra Nevada. The Sacramento River, stretching from the Oregon border to the Bay-Delta, carries 31% of the state’s total runoff water. Primary tributaries to the Sacramento River include the Pit, McCloud, Feather, and American rivers.

ANNOUNCEMENT CALIFORNIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTICE OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS Effective January 1, 1956 California Historical Society Flood Building 870 Market Street San Francisco 2, California PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE By Honora Laney It is my privilege and honor to serve as president of the Sutter County Historical Society for 1956. With much hesitancy, I accept this responsibility, especially hesitant since I must follow the society's first and able leader, Noel Stevenson. Much credit is due Mr. Stevenson for his unflagging zeal in helping to establish the Sutter County Historical Society and for his inspiring leadership in coordinating the interests of its members. In reviewing the history of the society, I find that the first organizational meeting took place on January 28, 1954 in the chambers of the Sutter County Board of Supervisors. Twenty-one interested Sutter county residents attended that meeting and approved the formation of a Sutter County Historical Society. The purpose of this society is three-fold: First, to organize a method for gathering, classifying and preserving old records and other valuable data pertinent to the history of Sutter county; secondly, to establish a public museum for the display of such material; and third, to locate, identify and preserve (if feasible) historical landmarks in the county.
