Dear WWU Community,

You may know that Provost Carbajal, Vice President Huskey and I were planning on holding a virtual Q&A forum to discuss our fall reopening plans and other strategic matters this afternoon.  We have decided to postpone that event, since there have been several new developments just in the past 24 hours that may impact our planning especially as it relates to a vaccine mandate.

Have questions about the new Office of Equity or its charge to campus? A new comments forum has just been added to the President's Site, here. 

Comments and questions from Western faculty, staff, and students about the Office of Equity are welcome and appreciated.

Commenting requires an active Western account; all comments will be approved by a moderator and posted as quickly as possible.

A public webinar hosted by the Washington Emergency Management Division on April 29 will cover the different technologies that will help the U.S. Geological Survey ShakeAlert® Earthquake Early Warning system protect people once it goes live for public alerting on May 4.

The public will hear directly from companies that will show how their technology helps automatically close water valves to protect water supplies and lift fire station doors so first responders can get vehicles and equipment out, among many other capabilities.
