Join faculty in viewing the documentary “Starving the Beast” on May 8 at 4 PM in AW 210. I just watched it myself, and highly recommend it. Very thought provoking, and timely as we revise the University mission.

The leaves are turning, the rain is falling, and pumpkins are showing up on porches… which means that it must be time for the annual student Humans vs. Zombies game.
(I must admit that this game is one of my least favorite things at Western. But like wind storms and moss, it shows up anyway. Knowledge helps us all. — KAL)
The game will run 7am – 7pm each day Oct. 27 – Nov. 3. The student contact for the game is wwuhumansvszombies@gmail.com. If you hear of or see any behavioral or safety concerns during this game period, those can be addressed directly to the HvZ Moderator Staff, but Casey Hayden, Coordinator of Student Activities, asks that you also share that info with the Viking Union, either at the main line at x3450 or to Casey directly at x2489.
If you are new to the Western or the game, please review the rules for the game posted on the HvZ website: http://www.wwuhumansvszombies.com/rules.php
As always, feel free to contact the Faculty Senate with concerns. Peace.
I am pleased to let faculty know about new efforts on campus to combat antisemitism.
First, the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University has just been established last summer. Visit the website learn more about the institute. Join the Ray Wolpow Institute for their inaugural lecture by acclaimed Holocaust Studies scholar and Academy-Award winning film producer Michael Berenbaum on Wednesday, October 19 st 7:30 PM in AH 100. This event is free and open to the public.
Second, there is a new Taskforce on Preventing and Responding to Antisemitism. They ask for the faculty’s support in identifying specific things that Western needs to do to reduce antisemitism on campus. You may use the form below or directly contact Sue Guenter-Schlesinger.
