The Friday Program:
EWU is one of four regional universities in the state. “In 1882, Benjamin Cheney (pronounced Chee-ney) founded the school by giving $10,000 and the land to establish an institution of higher education in the eastern part of the state. The geographical disconnect in our state sometimes makes it difficult to make citizens aware of what is happening all over the state of Washington,” said Dr. Brian. This is especially true for support for higher education in general and post secondary education. The president asked, “What kind of messages are we sending to our young people? As the need for quality higher education continues to increase, overall support has continued in a downward spiral. The role in regional economic development is an important one for a University like EWU. We have a major Air Force base, a state hospital, and a state university that play a big role in shaping the development of the Spokane-Cheney area.” In 1950, 20% of jobs required a post secondary education. In 2000, that figure had risen to 56%. Today, 20.2% of the people in the State of Washington hold baccalaureate degrees, “which means we’re already behind.” People who hold degrees make nearly twice as much as high school graduates — $48,000 to $26,000. Evelyn Cogswell recently lost her mother, Margaret Gilchrist. Evelyn’s card to the BBRC reads: Thank you for your expression of support and caring in response to learning of the death of my mother. The arrangement of spring flowers is quite lovely. I am comforted to know that my Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club friends are so aware of my grief. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.” * * * From Hailey O’Reilly, counselor at Sammamish High School: A week ago, I once again was invited to come to your fabulous Friday breakfast to recognize another great Sammamish student. This time, I was able to stay longer than usual and I’m glad I did. I was able to hear reports from all your various committees and get a real sense of how incredibly dedicated and involved your group is in many different aspects of the community. All I can say is ‘WOW!’ What an incredible group of people! Thank you for being inspiring to both me and my students. A very big thank you to Bob Holert and Tom Smith for their personal touches in the lives of our students. Thought for the week “When I was growing up, my parents used to say to me, ‘Finish your dinner, Tom. People in China and India are starving.’ And, now I tell my girls, ‘Girls, finish your homework because people in China and India are starving for your job.’” — Thomas Friedman (NY Times Columnist) THIS WEEK'S EDITOR THIS WEEK'S PHOTOGRAPHER(S) |
