SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY CERTIFICATION RECEIVES STATE RECOGNITION

The State Board of Education has approved the new school psychology certification program offered jointly by Washington State University Spokane and Eastern Washington University. With the approval, students who successfully complete the program and meet requirements of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction are recognized as eligible to practice in the state. See more online at http://www.wsu.edu/NIS/releases4/bc110.htm.

ON STAGE! PRESENTS THEATRE EXTRAORDINAIRE FOR A FREE PERFORMANCE

On Stage! Presents Theatre Extraordinaire, a musical theatre company, performing FREE at the Met.

Wednesday, May 9, 2001, 7:30pm. Tickets not required. Reservations are suggested for groups of 10 or more. Please call 358-7676 for more information.

The performance is an uplifting musical review in celebration of Mental Health Month.  The performance will feature favorite show tunes such as “You’ve Come A Long Way Baby” as well as original songs written by the On Stage! performers and director.

On Stage! is a program of the Washington Institute for Mental Illness Research and Training at WSU Spokane, directed by Donna Douglass. All performers are mental health consumers or providers. See more information online at http://www.spokane.wsu.edu/research&service/WIMIRT/WIMIRT_theatre.html.

The performance is sponsored by WIMIRT and Spokane County Regional Support Network.

LOGO NO-NO
Barb Chamberlain, Chief of Logo Patrol

Just a reminder that the electronic file of the WSU Spokane logo is not to be provided to external entities by any faculty or staff without the approval of the Communications Office. The logo should only appear on items that meet the standards of the University for quality and content, in order to represent us appropriately and professionally in the public eye.

When the campus is involved with a project over which we cannot exercise editorial and design control, it will generally be most appropriate to use our name, but not the logo. AS the official symbol of the University, it implies our approval and endorsement of the content.

NAME GAME

On a related topic--the campus name should appear as:

§Washington State University Spokane (note that we have dropped the use of “at” before Spokane)
§WSU Spokane

Preferred style is to use the spelled-out version, and always to use it on first appearance in a longer document where WSU Spokane can be used for subsequent references.

After all “WSU” can stand for Weber State, Wichita State, Winona State, Wyoming State……

SUMMER SCIENCE CAMPS
Glynis Hull, WSU Spokane CityLab

Registration is now open for CityLab's Young Women Summer Science Camps 2001:  Science at the Summit!

We are having four camps for middle school age girls this year.  Two will be nonresidential, held on the Riverpoint Campus, and two will be residential and held in conjunction with Girl Scouts at their Camp Four Echoes on Lake Coeur d'Alene.  And have we got a deal for you!  Because of an NSF grant we received this year, the cost of the camps is partially underwritten.  Normally these camps go for three times the cost! Nonresidential camps will be $50 and residential camps are $107 (unless your daughter is in Girl Scouts, then it is only $100).

The camp schedule is: 
July 9-13  Riverpoint
July 16-20  Riverpoint
July 31-August 6  Camp Four Echoes
August 14-20  Camp Four Echoes

Camp space is limited and available on a first come first serve basis. Payment MUST accompany registration.  There will be no overbooking, but an alternate list will be kept in case of cancellations.  Payments received after the camps are full will be returned in full.
