“A Look at Life in Student Life” with Kathy Storm April 28

Have you wondered what sets Whitworth’s student life program apart from other institutions, or what we mean by “SGC”? Maybe you’ve heard of the Bonner Leader program and don’t know what it is…or have wondered where those wacky theme-houses themes come from. You may even be curious about where the Health Center is located this year.

These questions and many others will be answered by Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students Kathy Storm at the next “A Look at Life in...” brown-bag dialogue on Thursday, April 28, from 11:45 a.m.–12:45 p.m., in the HUB meetings rooms ABC. Please note: this is a different location than the prior two “A Look at Life in…” dialogues.

The April 28 event continues a new monthly series of brown-bag dialogues during which members of cabinet provide an overview of their areas of responsibility and then invite questions and discussion. All staff and faculty members are invited to bring their lunch and join in the dialogue.

President Beck Taylor encourages Whitworth employees to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about areas of the university that may be unfamiliar to them. “As our community has grown, it has become harder to stay in touch with our colleagues across campus and what they are doing on a daily basis to advance our mission,” he says. “We need to work harder to be accessible and transparent, and we hope this monthly brown-bag dialogue can help in that process.”

Next month’s dialogue will feature “A Look at Life in the President’s Office,” with Beck Taylor, on Monday, May 9, from 11:45 a.m.–12:45 p.m. in the HUB meeting rooms ABC.
