The Power of Communal Learning

On September 29th, ACPA hosted the 2015 Presidential Symposium entitled Fulfilling Our Promises to Students: Fostering and Demonstrating Student Success. We spent a number of months planning an event that would involve as many people as possible. To achieve this goal, we had to expand upon the idea of an onsite event. And, we didn’t think live streaming alone would be engaging enough.

Keeping Guns Off Campus

During the closing days of the spring 2014 semester, active shooters terrorized the University of California, Santa Barbara and Seattle Pacific University. Once again, our students, faculty and staff were put in harms way through these senseless acts of gun violence. In all, these two incidents left 8 dead and 15 wounded. Countless others will be affected in the future by the emotional trauma of these two senseless acts of violence.
