A Veterans Day Tribute: Love and Service

2022-11-08T11:03:35-08:00

It is no surprise that those in the Fielding community know me only as the president of this university, a longtime educator, an advocate of environmental justice, and as a mentor to graduate students. But the title I have held the longest is also the most endearing to me. It is military spouse. Could you look at me and know that I am married to a retired Army Major? Probably not, but I have been for 32 incredible years.  Ret. Army Maj. Bill Cherry, my courageous husband, friend, and hero, is the reason this Veterans Day is more personal than [...]

Indigenous Peoples Day Acknowledgement with guest speaker Steven Newcomb

2022-10-03T11:58:02-07:00

The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking the Domination Code This presentation explores how the Doctrine of Discovery provides the larger historical context for Pope Francis’ recent trip to Turtle Island (“Canada”) and the various calls for truth and reconciliation.

Issues addressed include challenges to Tribal sovereignty, land stewardship and loss,  “boarding schools” in the United States as well as “residential schools” in Canada. Such understandings allow us to reflect on how and in what ways we can make meaningful change, that [...]
