Experience reunion through the photos and posts of Loggers who were there
Bird Nerd
Rare in Western Washington, this larger cousin to the more common cedar waxwing experienced an "irruption" last year, which, Will explains, is when a species expands into an area where it normally isn’t found. “I didn’t even see the bird, but I heard it—which still counts,” he says earnestly.
Eco Warriors
That’s according to In These Times magazine, which published an August 2015 article that connected climate change-induced fear to pre-traumatic stress disorder in millennials.

But at the recent Cascade Climate Network Spring Fling conference held on campus, two dozen students were turning that fear into action.

She also serves as a guide to the archives for students and staff and faculty members doing research. But her favorite part of the job is putting items like the beanie into context.

The Yellow House
Take the steps or the ramp, or even pick up the phone, and you’ll be greeted warmly by one of the staff members or student leaders at the Center for Intercultural and Civic Engagement (CICE). Once you’re in the know, you’ll just call it the Yellow House, and you’ll understand that within its walls there’s a small group of people who want to change the world.
