again. “China did change my life, and it changed me and offered me a chance to look deep within myself and accept that invitation to think differently and feel differently about my world and myself, Ford said.“In China, I didn’t speak Chinese, know anything about the philosophy, history or culture, but I told myself, I was going to take a risk, even if it means trying something I didn’t want to do.” Looking back, two years later, Ford is so glad he did. He’s now six months into his Fulbright

class has turned into a passionate effort to register student voters during a major election year.A group of business students at Pacific Lutheran University say they are concerned about lagging voter turnout that has historically kept local school bond measures from passing. They want to change that ahead of November’s general election, during which voters will decide on Franklin Pierce School District’s $157 million bond that would replace five elementary schools and include several other projects

limit her morning commute to her car — which dons a license plate outlined with a “Swedish-American” decal — alongside Bella, her canine co-captain. THE START OF A STORIED CAREER Ringdahl has a special reputation on campus, as the woman who has seen the university grow and change through the years. Her presence on campus began after her husband at the time was transferred to Joint Base Lewis-McChord. She answered an ad in The News Tribune in Tacoma, calling for a library assistant who could “project

you are spinning your wheels or the interventions you are trying seem inadequate. It can also mean that sometimes the change you want to see happen has to come at a high level — that can take years. I have definitely learned to celebrate small wins against these very stubborn problems.  You’ve accomplished a lot and were named “40 Under 40” in the Wyoming Business Report. How did that feel? Honestly, I was very surprised. It was incredibly thoughtful for someone to take the time to nominate me. I

generosity and support of New Yorkers increased right alongside the numbers of COVID-19 cases. At the 7 p.m. change of shifts, New Yorkers come outside to clap, while fire stations run engine lights and play sirens. Free meals from local restaurants feed the medical staff, and hotels offer rooms to house medical workers. Children chalk sidewalks with colorful messages of appreciation, and last week, a stranger insisted on buying Chrissy’s groceries at Trader Joe’s. “It’s cool to see people understand

it all in, but it’s also brilliant.”   Nothing Without Us was sponsored by the Curating for Change project, which creates career pathways for Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse museum curators in more than 20 local, regional, and national museums in England. Curators help reinterpret museum collection items and produce virtual and physical exhibit spaces to explore disabled people’s histories.   The project aims to highlight the contributions of disabled individuals in the community and history

Adults (NASA), “Down in Front,” hits home. Convinced that we are no longer armed with any potent notion of disease, where do we turn? Suppose we can further clarify the factual picture along these lines. We know ahead of time that certain conditions indicate potential for responding to GH treatment: not dwarfism, but a limited range of both GH-deficient and non-GH-deficient children. We can refine the pool of potentially benefitted children further, in turn, by dropping those who show no change in

etymologies, such as the Greek roots of “scholar.” Ciardi also wrote memorable poetry, mining the ancient power of words to show that some things human never change. For instance, these lines from his “Credibility,” Who could believe an ant in theory? a giraffe in blueprint? Ten thousand doctors of what’s possible could reason half the jungle out of being. I speak of love, and something more, to say we are the thing that proves itself not against reason, but impossibly true, and therefore to teach reason

. And, maybe most of all, an impact that will last well beyond 25 years. Here are the stories: “The Women’s Center has made me a leader of my own life! It also has given me the courage to create my dreams and live them. It’s given me a voice and the passion to speak for those who cannot. It made me see the world differently, always asking myself, ‘How can I do more? How can I inspire more change?’ It’s made me that woman I am today … a business owner, empowering women to take ownership and control

not designed for theater. To know for what the building was intended – in precise order ¬– it is instructive to know the building’s original name: The Chapel-Music-Speech Building. “If you were in the balcony, you could hear a pin drop, but you couldn’t see anything,” Clapp said. “And if you were on the main floor, you could see wonderfully, but you couldn’t hear anything. “That place was designed for music, not the spoken word.” On October 12, 2013, all that will change. On the Saturday evening
