Welcome to the IAS Newsletter
Welcome to the second issue of
Junctions, the alumni website for the Interdisciplinary Arts and
Sciences Program at the University of Washington Tacoma. This yearly
publication is intended to connect, reconnect, educate and perhaps even
inspire alumni, faculty, current students and staff. One unique aspect
of Junctions is that it also serves as an experiential learning space
for current and former IAS students interested in web writing and
publication. As a result, what you see here has been conceptualized,
researched, written, produced and laid out by IAS students and alumni.
Special thanks goes to IAS communication concentration recent alum
Galen Annest and 2009 graduate Daniel Nash, also from the communication
concentration. Galen wrote several of the key articles that appear in
this editions, as well as contributed quite a bit of time and effort to
editing. Daniel Nash created the visual look of the website and also
came up with the title, Junctions, which he believes expresses the
continuity of our professional lives and the interdisciplinarity
embedded in the IAS program. We hope you enjoy this edition of
Junctions, which features articles and updates about what alumni and
faculty are up to, how the IAS program is developing, and a special
feature on ways in which you, the alumni of IAS, can give back to
program specifically and the university as a whole. If you have
comments, questions, or would like to find out how you can be involved
in the next edition, please e-mail Chris Demaske at iasnews@u.washington.edu
