A hope to ‘Bridge the Gap’
On Wednesday, as students sat in the South Park Blocks eating and studying, ASPSU presidential candidate Hannah Fisher and some of her running mates worked to spread the message of their campaign. The “Bridge the Gap” campaign by Fisher and her vice-presidential running mate, Kyle Cady, is designed to attract students to this month’s student government election, which runs from April 20 through April 26. The campaign is committed to canvassing, and according to Cady, “if you don’t see us outside, something’s wrong.”
Class creates site to promote simple, sustainable living
When Lonny Webb was working to finish his senior capstone last winter, his class journal was littered with entries casting doubt on the success of the project. Now he looks back on his efforts with a sense of enthusiastic pride. He and about 20 classmates, with the help of instructor Rob Bremmer, who told his class to reach out to the community and change some minds, created a Web site called “sustainanomics” (sustainanomics.unst.pdx.edu) through the Multimedia Production Senior Capstone. The site examines ways to live more sustainably without breaking the bank.
