9. Peter Sears named Oregon Poet Laureate Governor John Kitzhaber has named Peter Sears of Corvallis to a two-year appointment as poet laureate of Oregon. Sears will be Oregon’s seventh poet laureate since 1921. He succeeds Paulann Petersen, who has held the post since 2010. A 20-person committee of writers, poets and cultural leaders reviewed nominations for the position in March and made its recommendation to the Governor in April. The committee was assembled by the Oregon Cultural Trust and its statewide partners—Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Historical Society, the Oregon Heritage Commission, Oregon Humanities and the State Historic Preservation Office. "The selection committee was moved not only by the quality of Peter's poetry, but also by his record of working with communities across Oregon and supporting writers at every stage of their engagement with words,” says Adam Davis, executive director of Oregon Humanities. “I think Peter's selection--and the commitment and reach of the people who reviewed the many strong nominations-- attest to Oregon's exceptionally vital and hopeful literary landscape." The Oregon Poet Laureate fosters the art of poetry, encourages literacy and learning, addresses central issues relating to humanities and heritage, and reflects on public life in Oregon. Sears will provide at least six and up to 20 public readings per year in settings across the state to educate community, business and state leaders about the value and importance of poetry and creative expression. “I would like to broaden the range of the Poet Laureate’s role to include the voices of diverse communities,” says Sears. “I call this ‘Expanding Voices’.” Past Oregon Poets Laureate include Edwin Charles Markham (1921–1940), Ben Hur Lampman (1951–1954), Ethel Romig Fuller (1957–1965), William Stafford (1974–1989) and Lawson Inada (2006– 2010). A public ceremony thanking Petersen and welcoming Sears will take place later this year. To read more about Sears, visit the Oregon Cultural Trust website.

The date marks the 100th anniversary of the Reserve Bank Operating Committee’s final selection of Reserve Bank cities and District boundaries for the Federal Reserve System. The Report tells the story of its founding 100 years ago in an underdeveloped set of states on the edge of America. In the Report, President John C. Williams and Senior Editor Sam Zuckerman explore how the region grew into an economic and cultural pacesetter for the world, and how this institutios evolved to become part of a 21st century central banking system. The story offers important lessons on what it took for the West to become a force for economic progress during the past century and how the qualities rooted in the spirit of the region will be essential in the years ahead.

16. John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum American Studies Summer Institute [email protected] Defining "Public" and "Private" in America: Cultural, Social and Political Arguments Past and Present, July 7–18, 2014, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For over two decades, teachers and graduate students in American Studies, political science, history, and related disciplines have explored in depth a topic drawn from American history, politics, culture, or social policy through the American Studies Summer Institute, co-sponsored by the University of Massachusetts Boston and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. The intensive two- week program, held at the Kennedy Library, includes informative and thought-provoking lectures and discussions led by a distinguished group of scholars and guests. This institute will examine the complex work done by government, law, business, medicine, art, community organizations, and individuals to define the boundaries between public and private in American life. In a historical moment when previously “private” behaviors (e.g., talking on the phone) have become public, and the concerns of a larger “public good” have invaded private space (e.g., NSA surveillance of personal communication), it becomes vital to explore the deep history of this ongoing American conversation about individual rights and responsibilities on one hand, and the needs of the larger community on the other. This course will investigate where these conversations have taken place— from debates in Congress to literary and cinematic considerations of the subject—and how they have shaped the lives of ordinary Americans. Possible topics include the debate over reproductive rights, the right to bear arms, Internet security, and the status of corporations. Drawing upon experts from a variety of disciplines and with diverse perspectives, the institute will be directed by Patricia A. Reeve, Associate Professor of History at Suffolk University, and Education Specialist Nina Tisch at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Participants may earn three graduate credits in American Studies. For those who wish to receive graduate credit, the fee for this grant-supported course is $400. For teachers taking the course for PDPs only, a non-credit option is available for $150. The deadline to register to May 30, 2014. Click here to download the application. Email us with any questions.
