I hope all is well! We are cruising to the end of week three. Isn’t that remarkable? I think I often start these Friday notes with exclamations about how fast the year is going. I have already started that habit again this year. Yikes! I am not sure I have lots and lots to report […]
I hope all of you are well and you have had a wonderful week. I just want to touch base quickly this Friday. I am journeying from my familial home of Walla Walla where I have attended the memorial service of Solanage “Solita” Henderson, the mother of the first friend I remember having. One year […]

I had no idea that my final paper for the Co-Cultural Communications class I took last fall would transform into a piece of scholarship that would endure the remainder of my academic experience at CSU. With encouragement from Dr. Aoki, my Co-Cultural Communications professor, I submitted my final paper, which discussed professor cultural identity/disclosures and […]
