Holocaust and Genocide Memorial Grove
Reception Provides Look at Emerging Sculpture

The campus community is invited to a reception acknowledging the progress of the Holocaust and Genocide Memorial Sculpture on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 4:30-7 p.m. in the Art Gallery. A studio visit and site tour with artist and sculptor Jann Nunn, who designed the work as a constant reminder of past atrocities and a symbol of hope for the future, is included in the event. In November 2006, the University approved the design and installation of a Holocaust and Genocide Memorial Sculpture to honor the victims, survivors and families of the Holocaust and other genocides around the world. This memorial is the first of its kind on a California State University campus, and one of few such permanent installations in Northern California. Contact Holly Sautner in the School of Social Sciences with any inquiries at 4.2112, holly.sautner@sonoma.edu.

Universal Design for Learning
Explained in Nov. 16 Workshop

"Putting Your Teaching Philosophy Into Practice" is the subject of a workshop and discussion on Universal Design for Learning and its potential benefits to be presented from noon to 2 p.m. on Nov. 16 in Salazar 2020. Emiliano Ayala,  Professor of Education, describes how the principles of Universal Design for Learning enable faculty to effectively and creatively design and teach a course in a way that makes learning accessible to a wider range of students. UDL is a proactive approach to designing course instruction, materials, and content to benefit students of all learning styles without afterthought-based adaptation or retrofitting, Ayala says. How faculty can become part of a Faculty Learning Community on UDL, with stipends and other incentive given, will also be explained. Register online at http://tinyurl.com/2w67uk.
