A Season of GratitudeDecember 21, 2009 One of our school's founders and lifelong supporters, Russ Jorgensen, passed away on November 28, 2009. With his dry wit, committed pacifism, love of his wife Mary, and too-numerous-to-count arrests for civil disobedience, Russ inspired and challenged us all. Losing Russ at this time of year only makes us more aware of our gratitude to Russ and all who created Woolman. As we celebrate our graduates of the 12th Woolman Semester, we remember the life of Russ Jorgensen. We ask that you join us in that celebration by supporting these young people who come to Woolman to learn to live lives, as Russ did, of integrity and action. Please consider joining with Russ's lifelong support of Woolman by making a donation this month to the Woolman Semester. |

Sharing the WealthNovember 21, 2009 The week spent in Mexico tied together all three classes, bringing together water issues from Environmental Science with wealth and poverty from Peace Studies and border politics from Global Issues. In this issue you'll find students making connections between these themes, articulating global problems in need of solutions, and envisioning ways to create positive change. Please join the dialogue, either on WordPress, Facebook, or by submitting an article for publication. |

Service is a Two-Way RoadOctober 27, 2009 In this issue you will find a multitude of ideas and experiences of service by Woolman Semester students, interns and staff, inspired and informed by their recent week-long service trips. Is service really relevant to Peace Studies class? What's the relationship between service and activism? Who do we serve, and in what ways does service serve us? You'll find the full versions of these abridged articles, plus more on our WordPress blog. And we hope you will join with us in creating a two-way dialogue by adding your own voice, either by commenting on blog articles, or by submitting your own. And be sure to join the Woolman Facebook fan site to be part of the dialogue. |
