by Sequoia Young ’18 Antioch College’s much anticipated accreditation site visit happened on Nov. 2, 3, and 4. “The site team spoke highly of the preparation for the visit and the gracious, helpful, authentic and welcoming spirit of everyone on campus,” said President Mark Roosevelt in an email to the community on Nov. 4. “We have every reason to be proud of what we have accomplished and hope- ful that it will receive the recognition that it deserves.” The five members of the site visit team held meetings with different parts of the community, ate lunch with students, and assessed every aspect of the campus and school structure. The members are educa- tors and administrators from multiple other colleges and universities. “I think the most important thing is to thank everyone,” said Hannah Spirrison, director of institutional effectiveness.

Finding Myself In This Earth Photographs by Odette Chavez-Mayo ’18

An evening of dance and theater pieces choreographed by Dimi Reber, Antioch College pro- fessor emerita in dance. Reber was inspired to create “Finding Myself In This Earth” by David Suzuki’s “The Sacred Balance” and Wendell Berry’s “The Art of the Commonplace.” Segments from these texts accompanied the piece in the performance along with musical excerpts from Bach’s Magnificat and Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. Performed by Rico Reid (top right), Maryeth Wolf, Tricia Gelmini, Becca Eastman, Jill Becker, Valerie Blackwell Truitt and Judith Makita (center right), Dimi Reber and Tricia Gelmini (bottom right), Judith Makita, Marybeth Wolf, Tricia Gelmini, Becca Eastman (bottom left), Louise Smith, assistant profes- sor of performance (center left), and Tricia Gelmini and Valerie Blackwell Truitt (top left).
