On May 8th, 2011 6:30PM
Family members of missing University of Washington student, Marizela Perez,
will be holding a Benefit Open Mic Concert: Magiging Maayos at the Ethnic
Cultural Theater in hopes of further funding the search.
 
Magiging Maayos is Tagalog for "be well", which is part of the tattoo
Marizela Perez had on her arm. This concert will not only help fund raise
but also spread the idea that regardless of any one person's situation "all
will be well" and we will continue to spread this information in hopes it
reaches Marizela Perez and others who might need it.
 
Marizela Perez went missing Saturday, March 5th, 2011 and was last seen
2-3PM at the Safeway in the University District. It has been well over a
month and no news of her disappearance has surfaced. The funds raised in
this event will go directly into funding search teams, private
investigation, and spreading the news.
 
The concert will have live music, spoken word, dances, and different
speakers from the University of Washington Seattle Campus, but will also be
open to the audience if they want to perform or say a few words. There will
be a silent auction before and during the event with amazing art created by
Marizela herself. Other organizations will be selling different things and a
portion of their proceeds while help the Perez family. There will also be a
raffle.
 
Doors will open at 6:30PM
The show will start at 7:00PM
 
The price is a sliding scale of $5-$10.
 
On behalf of the Perez family, we hope that you can come to this event and
help support in any way possible or by inviting others to attend.

The Seattle Chamber of Commerce is featuring global health as its theme for the annual Leadership Conference October 22-24th at Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum. (info on their website at www.seattlechamber.com)
  
I'm looking for 4 students experienced in video shooting and desktop editing who would be willing to come over on Thursday the 23rd and record the breakout discussion sessions that afternoon. The sessions run about 1.5 hours. We need the sessions cut down to a 2-3 minute "highlight reel" to show the next morning after the Governor speaks. The clips will not have narration; they will be compiled using natural sound and possibly some  background music. They should be fast-paced and high energy.
  
We will cover your fuel costs as well as meals and hotel rooms (you will share with another student) at the resort. It's a terrific place and you'll get a nice addition to your resume.
  
Professor Domke is supportive of this and says Nika Pelc can help gather cameras and assist with editing configuration.
  
  Students will need:
  1. experience shooting video and desktop editing
  2. a laptop that can be configured for editing
  3. creativity and calm demeanor under pressure
  4. transportation to get to eastern Washington (it's about an hour and 15 minutes from Seattle). We will reimburse fuel.
 
  Those interested should write me at lcohen@wghalliance.org. If you have questions, you can reach me at work at 206-788-2463.

Re: the 11th Annual
Undergraduate Research Symposium, which will be on Friday, May 16th, 2008.

To present their work at this event, students must submit an application by
Friday, February 22nd, 2008.

As you know, the Symposium is a celebration of undergraduate accomplishments in research, scholarship, and creative expression in all academic disciplines.

Students may present their research either using a poster or in a small group
presentation session. We will also have a (small) performance space in nearby
Meany Hall to allow students in the performing arts to participate. Last year,
over 620 undergraduates presented their work in this exciting event and we
expect this year’s celebration to be our biggest yet.

You should receive a poster(s) via campus mail this week and we thank you in
advance for posting these in your department. If you would like additional
posters email us at: urp@u.washington.edu. We also invite you put a link to this
year’s Symposium application on your own departmental website, as desired
(available at: http://www.washington.edu/research/urp/symp/applynow.html).

If you or your department’s faculty would like a URP staff member to briefly
present about the symposium in your courses or to student groups, please email
us at urp@u.washington.edu. For further details, including a list of information
sessions about the symposium and abstract writing workshops to assist students
with their applications, visit http://www.washington.edu/research/urp/symp.

Thank you very much for encouraging your students to apply and attend this
exciting event.

Platform Online Magazine Launches
New Issue
 
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — For a fresh perspective on public relations
education and practice—and to express your own views on these
subjects—visit Platform Online Magazine, a student-run publication
that seeks to create an online community where PR students, practitioners
and educators discuss issues shaping the profession’s future. Topic
categories on the www.platformmagazine.com site include career,
leadership, ethics, trends and tips from the pros.

 

Platform’s second issue, which was launched on Jan. 10, 2008, explores
diverse public relations-related subjects ranging from PR applications of
social media to time management of multiple accounts to targeting the
growing Hispanic population in the United States. Also covered are crisis
management, agency versus in-house environments and media relations from
both a PR practitioner’s and a journalist’s viewpoint.

 

In addition, you’ll find video interviews on the subject of leadership
with John “Jack” Felton and Ofield Dukes, two of the pioneers in the
PR field who were recently featured in Legacies from Legends in Public
Relations produced by the Plank Center for Leadership in Public
Relations to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Public Relations Student
Society of America. This issue also offers several interactive features,
including an updated AP style quiz, an articles forum and links to other
online resources. A blog featuring perspectives on current PR issues will
be added starting February 4, 2008.

 

The Platform student editorial team encourages article contributions
from PR students, practitioners and educators. If you’d like to write
an article for Platform, pitch your story ideas for the next issue
of Platform to the faculty advisor, Tracy Sims, by March 15, 2008.

seeks to eliminate the use of sweatshop labor in the production of
apparel purchased with public funds.

Two SweatFree Communities Organizers will be holding a workshop at the
University of Washington main campus on January 27th, to try and launch
an anti-sweatshop city ordinance campaign in Seattle. Members of the
University of Washington Student Labor Action Project (UW SLAP) are

Media Coverage of US-Iran Relations

Wading through the flood of news on Iran?
Wondering what it all means?

Join us for an evening of short lectures and conversation.
Professors Arzoo Osanloo and David Domke will provide critical
tools and knowledge you can use to make sense of news
coverage on Iran and US-Iran relations.

Professor David Domke
UW Department of Communication
“The United States news media missed the story on Iraq's
alleged weapons of mass destruction. When the Bush
administration touted the presence of such WMDs, U.S.
journalists passed along the message. Now, the Bush
administration is making the case that Iran is a threat that
must be contained and controlled. How are the news media
covering this line of argument by the administration? Are the
press more closely examining U.S.-Iran relations, and if so
what does this coverage look like? What might we expect in
coming months and years in U.S. news coverage?”

Professor Arzoo Osanloo
UW Department of Anthropology
The U.S. foreign policy program favoring regime change in
Iran mobilizes ‘women’s rights’ as a means to garner
domestic (U.S.) sympathy for intervention. However, the
day-to-day realities of Iranian women’s lives are often
misconstrued, and internal women’s rights movements are
neglected by outside observers. What are the effects of
international pressure on local Iranian women and on local
women’s rights movements? Given the anti-imperialist tenor
of the 1979 revolution and the centrality of women’s status
therein, what are the effects of contemporary discourses of
regime change that highlight women’s rights? Do such
efforts help or hurt internal reform movements?

A career in journalism almost always requires familiarity with Washington, D.C., and not just for political junkies. Besides being the home of the federal government, Washington is a crossroads for science, social issues, economics and most other topics that end up in the news. This program, designed for college students with an interest in journalism, will provide an overview of Washington and provide tools and knowledge to delve deeper when students return home or land first jobs. 

This program has been moved back to February, with students arriving the evening of Saturday, February 16 and departing in the afternoon on Wednesday, February 20. The new deadline for applications is January 14.  All applications that have been submitted are still valid submissions. Please notify programs@nationalpress.org if you must withdraw your application due to the change of date.

Like all NPF programs, this one is on-the-record with plenty of time for discussion. Eighteen all-expenses-paid fellowships are available to qualified college students. Fellowships include airfare (to $600), hotel and most meals. Demand for this program is high, so apply early.

'Crossing Borders - Issues & Resolutions'
United States - Canadian University Student Conference
Seattle WA / 6-7 March 2008

Canada and the United States share one of the world's longest borders and are each others largest trading partners.  Canada is America's largest supplier of crude oil, natural gas and electricity.  The U.S. and Canada are allies in the War on Terror and partners in NORAD for decades.  However, as in most relationships, challenges and differences do exist.


EVENT / DATES

The Consulate General of Canada Seattle, in collaboration with the Pacific Northwest Canadian Studies Consortium, is organizing a two-day Student Conference to focus on the US-Canada border and issues of importance in the bi-lateral relationship.

After arrival in Seattle on Thursday 6 March, the students will travel to the US-Canada border Port of Entry at Blaine WA / Surrey BC for presentations and tours organized by the Canada Border Services Agency and US Customs and Border Protection.  Students will learn about the operations of both agencies and how they partner to secure the border against threats while expediting travel for legitimate trade and commerce.  The day will conclude with a Welcome Dinner in Bellingham, Washington and return to Seattle.

On Friday 7 March the Conference will entail 4 panel presentations.  Each panel will focus on an issue of importance to Canada and the United States and last 90 minutes.  Each panel will have two teams.  Each team will be composed of one American and one Canadian student.  Each team will be tasked with researching, presenting and explaining the issue assigned (the American student will present the American position and the Canadian student will present the Canadian position).  Each team will suggest a resolution / solution.   A moderator and members of the audience will be invited to ask questions and / or challenge the presentations and resolutions of two teams.  A team of judges will select the team deemed to have made the best presentation and proffering the most convincing resolution / solution.   The day will conclude with an Awards Dinner. 










STUDENT ELIGIBILITY / SELECTION

A total of 16 students will be selected.  Eight American and eight Canadian.  Students must be full-time undergraduates attending a university in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, British Columbia or Alberta that is a member of the Pacific Northwest Canadian Studies Consortium.  No more than two students will be selected from any one university.  
Interested students must complete the attached application and mail / fax no later than 15 January 2008.  Successful applicants will be notified by 1 February.  Students will be paired (one American and one Canadian for each of the 8 teams) and assigned their issue upon notification.  Students are invited to work with their faculty advisors to see if this may qualify as an independent study to earn course credit.

TEAMS / ISSUES

The American students will present the American position and the Canadian students will present the Canadian position.  Not personal opinions or beliefs!  Each team will need to communicate and work together beforehand to organize their presentations and agree upon a resolution / solution.

The issues to be assigned will be one of the following:

1. Border Security: Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative; PASS cards; Enhanced 	Drivers Licenses; Perimeter Clearance, Visa harmonization
2. Northwest Passage: Sovereign Canadian waters or International waters
3. Multi-Lateral Diplomacy:  Role of the United Nations
4. Gun Control
5. Capital Punishment 
6. Gay Marriage / Gays in Military 


FUNDING 

The Canadian Consulate General is the principal sponsor of the conference. Students will be provided with travel funds (airplane ticket or mileage), two nights shared accommodation in Seattle, ground transportation for the Border Tour and meals.  


AWARDS / PRIZES

One team from each panel will be selected for making the best presentation and proffering the best resolution.  From those four teams one team will be selected as the overall top presenter.
