Views expressed in Eastern by contributing writers are not necessarily those of the University. Bright Future Seen by Bruce Maxwell Dear Alumni and Friends: for College of Technology Since 1977, Eastern has been produced as a three color, high gloss magazine mailed to all alumni and friends. It has been a privilege to serve you by producing such a publication. However, production costs have tripled since 1977 and EMU has suffered three major budget cuts since the beginning of our fiscal year last July I. Our fall issue of Eastern was produced at one-halfthe cost of our winter magazine and then another budget reduction order has forced us to again change the format of Eastern to the current style. The present state of Michigan's genera/ fund economic outlook leads me to believe this will be the last issue of Eastern published this fiscal year which ends June 30, 1981. We do expect to retain this publication format and provide you with quarterly issues beginning summer, 1981. Our major responsibility is to provide consistent communication about your University and we deeply appreciate your patience and support during this period of economic urgency. As always, we encourage your comments and editorial contributions on all aspects of Eastern. This is your publication and should always reflect your reading interests.

  • Letter to the Community FALL 2019
    2018-2019 • Annual Report Letter to the Community FALL 2019 According to Rudolf Steiner, the three components of a Waldorf education are a need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility. For 54 years, Detroit Waldorf School has nurtured these pillars of learning in thousands of students, who have entered society as creative, voracious, and responsible citizens of the world. It is our community that sustains DWS. Our parents, grandparents, alumni, teachers, and staff breathe life into our school day after day. We endured periods of uncertainty, and now we are navigating a period of unprecedented growth and demand. This next year is critical for our school to determine how we might increase our capacity and open our doors to more children. It is our challenge to ride this wave of interest in Waldorf education while also addressing the need for more Waldorf educators. In order to thrive, DWS requires more teachers and these teachers deserve fair compensation. DWS has endured because we have remained true to our mission and committed to the children who pass through our gate. As we celebrate 100 years of Waldorf education, I invite you to join me in committing anew to supporting our wonderful community. The fellowship and friendship Detroit Waldorf School has provided my family—and families like yours—is invaluable. Please consider giving in honor of all we have accomplished in the past five decades, and all we will achieve in the future. Sincerely, Dante King, PRESIDENT, BOARD OF TRUSTEES Our Students DWS ended the 2018-19 academic year with 254 enrolled students.
