Evergreen News & Stories
Dear Evergreen Community,
Derek Chauvin’s conviction Tuesday on all counts in the murder of George Floyd marks the latest chapter in our ongoing national reckoning on race and policing.
Our relief that justice prevailed in this case does not reverse the fact that George Floyd was murdered by a police officer. The nation witnessed as Floyd’s life ebbed away on the pavement. The video that helped convict Chauvin also starkly exposed the ingrained systemic injustice still very much present in our country.
Olympia, WA -- The Evergreen State College Board of Trustees announced today they have selected three final candidates in the search for Evergreen’s next president, following a national search.
“We have three capable and talented individuals who would bring great experience, energy and perspective to this vital role,” said Board of Trustees Chair Karen Fraser, a retired Washington state senator and former Evergreen adjunct faculty.
Evergreen Student Wellness, in partnership with the Chehalis Tribe, will host their first vaccination event on campus Friday, April 16 from 8 am until 4 pm.
The Chehalis Tribe has generously offered both the vaccine and their time to support the event.
While Evergreen will remain remote and hybrid for spring and summer quarters, the college anticipates safely teaching and learning more in-person in the fall 2021 quarter.
“Evergreen has done a great job of keeping students, staff and faculty safe over the past year,” said Vice President for College Relations Sandra Kaiser, who leads Evergreen’s preparations for fall 2021.
