Alex Morse was born and raised in Holyoke and is a proud product of the city’s public schools. Morse is an alumnus of Brown University with a degree in urban studies, and was the first in his family to graduate from college. He is the youngest mayor ever elected in Holyoke and the youngest gay mayor in the nation. His first year as mayor marked the first time in 25 years that the city had no violent homicide.

Student Leadership Training and Dinner

Leave a comment

Student Leadership Training
3-7 pm, February 14
Tech Theatre Studio, first floor, Scott Hall.

I urge those interested in being a leader to attend the training on Thursday, 3-7 pm training with Dan Kwong. Student performers will have a dress rehearsal. You will be excused from athletic commitments that day.  Let me know if you have any other conflicts, so we can create solutions that will enable you to attend this once in a life time opportunity. Dan is being flown in from Los Angeles for this!

Dan Kwong is an award-winning performance artist who has been presenting his solo autobiographical performances internationally since 1989. Hailed by critics as “a master storyteller,” Kwong draws upon his own life experiences to reveal the links between the personal and the political, the past and the present, the self and the “other.”

The State of the Union Address will be on tonight at 9 p.m. in the StuBop for seniors on honors, those who can get permission from their advisor or dorm parent, day students, and anybody else who would like to stop by.  Maybe your teacher would be willing to give some extra credit for viewing it and writing a summary?  Ask them.  See you at 9 p.m. in the StuBop.

Sincerely,
Mr. Spearing

We’ve been doing amazing work around campus conserving electricity despite the weather.  We will be taking our final readings tomorrow, Wednesday, February 13.  Anybody who would like to help take readings, stop by the Activities Office at 1 p.m.  It takes about 45 minutes to read the meters around campus.  Don’t forget to conserve electricity tonight, and to vote for the Williston’s video in the Video Challenge!

Senior Project Forms Available

Leave a comment

Senior Project application forms are now available in my office.  If you are interested in pursuing this opportunity to develop a previously established interest in a particular area of study, please come by my office to discuss it. This is NOT required of seniors, and in fact, only about 10 or 12 seniors in any particular year choose to take part in this program.  For those who do, it is a significant commitment upon which graduation and our diploma will depend.  If you have questions, please see me.  These are typically individual projects, not group projects. Thanks!

Mr. Tuleja

2013 Diversity Conference Schedule

Leave a comment

Below you will find the schedule and workshop descriptions for this year’s Diversity Conference. This conference is an amazing reflection of our community’s purpose, passion and integrity.  This mosaic of diversity coming together is an exercise of our unique identity and an opportunity to strengthen our community.  As I have been working with the student leaders and reviewing the different workshops, I feel a tremendous amount of pride for our community.  I think you will experience this too.

I am so thankful for the Diversity Committees (Student, Faculty and Parent) that helped shape this experience.  There are many others working to make this conference happen including students, alumni, faculty, parents, the Technology Office, Physical Plant, Dining Services, community volunteers, leaders and activists.  Thank you!

Bridget M. Choo
Director of Diversity
International Student Coordinator

2013 Diversity Conference: February 14-15
