³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ Prepares for Earthquake
May 14, 2013

More than 100 ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ faculty and staff teamed up with more than 30 first responders and emergency officials for an all-day earthquake exercise at ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ May 14. College employees practiced emergency functions and activities with 16 different local emergency organizations.
The exercise provided hands-on practice for the 25 emergency functions identified as necessary for a coordinated response.
³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ’s powerful Keck Telescope will zoom in on the craters of the moon, the rings of Saturn and a globular cluster during a free, public viewing Friday, May 17, beginning at about 8 p.m. and lasting several hours. The best viewing generally occurs later in the evening.

Led by bagpipes, more than 300 ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ graduates marched from Kerrwood Hall through the formal gardens to Russell Carr Field May 4 for Commencement. Cloudy skies kept families and friends cool and comfortable as they cheered the graduating students.
