Friends educators from colleges, universities and study centers globally will gather for the annual Friends Association for Higher Education Conference, scheduled June 18-21 on the university’s Newberg campus. This year’s theme is “Truth and Transformation†and will feature plenary speakers Haven Kimmel, Bill Jolliff, Jon Kershner and Margery Post Abbott.
A highlight of the weekend will be the presentation of First Lady Lou, a one-woman dramatization of the life of Lou Hoover, performed by actress Jane Fellows, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 19, in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Tickets, available at the door, are $15 for general admission, $10 for seniors and university employees, and $5 for students.
After the play, a “talk-back” session with Fellows and Leslie Hoover-Lauble, great-granddaughter of Herbert and Lou Hoover, will be moderated by Rachel Thomas, university archivist.
Workshop sessions Friday and Saturday cover a broad range of topics, from pedagogy in Quaker education, seeking peace in Rwanda, transformational learning in Israel/Palestine, and gender diversity in higher education, to Quakers in literature, theatre, music, and business and economics. Several presentations will engage “Quakers and Literature” as part of a new book series featuring Quaker contributions to academic disciplines.

Depending on the weather, Plant Services will hopefully finish restriping the parking lots near Pennington, Weesner Village and Weesner House this week, in addition to the “lollipop” lot by Klages and the little Stevens lot. Projected dry days are Wednesday and Friday, but this could change.
Please don’t park in those lots on Wednesday and we will see how much gets finished. Alternate parking is available on Sheridan Street and by the tennis courts. If the lots aren’t all finished they will be completed on the next dry day, which could be Thursday or Friday. Keep an eye on Daily Bruin for more information.
Questions? Call Security Services at 503-554-2090.
