...FIRST FOUR-YEAR CLASS RETURNS FOR FALL QUARTER; CLASSES START SEPT. 30...
The educational pioneers of Washington have begun the final part of a four-year
journey. One hundred and eight-five students who began their college careers at Evergreen
when it opened in September of 1971 plan to return this fall and will comprise the institution's
first full four-year graduating class. The pioneering seniors are among an estimated 2300
students expected to begin arriving on campus for a full week of orientation which begins
today. The week-long orientation program offers a complete introduction to Evergreen for an
estimated 900 new students.
Classes for all students begin Sept. 30. Some 22 Coordinated Studies programs offering instruction in the natural sciences, mathematics, social sciences, humanities and the
arts, form the core of the 1974-75 curriculum. The total includes ten basic interdisciplinary
programs designed for beginning students, four intermediate and eight advanced programs.
Twenty-seven advanced group contracts, providing more specialized academic study, and a wide
variety of individual study contracts will give students opportunities for work in nearly
all academic disciplines.
Students will also have opportunities to earn academic credit
while working full or part-time through internships arranged by the college's Office of Cooperative Education with more than 500 businesses, schools, agencies and organizations.
Eight modular courses will also offer students and community members opportunities for parttime studies.
More than 120 faculty members, who reported to Evergreen Sept. 17 for their own
^eek-long orientation, will greet students on opening day. The faculty roster includes regular,
part-time, and visiting professors, plus seven new instructors who have signed three-year
teaching agreements. New to the faculty are: Susan Aurand. artist; William Brown, geographer,
Rainier Hasenstab, environmental designer, Peta Henderson, anthropologist; Don Jordan, Native
American scholar; Russell Lidman, economics, and Lynn Struve, Chinese historian.
Administrative changes have taken places over the summer, too. Jovana Brown is
the new dean of the library, Bill Smith is Director of Financial Aid, Gail Martin is coordinator of the Placement Office, Les Eldridge is the new assistant to the president, Lou-Ellen
Peffer is directing Counseling Services and Willie Parson is a new academic dean.
