Teach in the Honors Program!
The Honors Program is seeking course proposals for the spring 2025 semester. You may choose to teach a one or three credit hour class. Our 1-credit hour discussion courses hone in on a particular work, genre, or trend in the form of a novel, film, selection of music, or gallery of artwork. You may also choose to teach a 3-credit hour class. We love supporting innovative, interdisciplinary courses that challenge and engage students. All Honors courses are capped at 15 students to allow for sustained, in-depth discussions.
Please submit your course proposal through the Honors Program website or email Christy Call directly at ccall2@weber.edu. We look forward to hearing your ideas!
Drop-In Scholarship Event hosted by the College of Education on April 4!
Do you need financial assistance for the upcoming school year? Are you a student in the College of Education? If so, please join COE advisors and financial aid office staff at our drop-in scholarship event on Thursday, April 4th, from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. in Swenson Building Room 405.

Full Term and 2nd Block Course Evaluation - available 04/02/2024 through 04/16/2024
Course evaluations for the spring 2024 semester, full term and 2nd block courses, will open on April 2 and close on April 16. The evaluations are administered through Blue by Explorance.
Students will be notified of the available evaluations in two ways:
- A pop-up when they log into Canvas
- Notification sent to their Wildcat Email account
Students can also access their evaluations through the 'Course Evaluations' link from within their Canvas course(s) providing the instructor has made the link visible in the navigation.
We strongly encourage you to visit the evaluation website at http://weber.edu/ie/course_evaluations.html. Please take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with the features of the tool by reading through the FAQ sections - both faculty and student. One suggestion gleaned from faculty last semester is to create a 0-point assignment with a due date that encourages students to complete the evaluation. Specifying a due date places the activity on the students' calendars which many students review daily. Other suggestions are available on the web page.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please email OIE@weber.edu.
Deadline April 1 (no fooling) for Student/Faculty Sustainability Research Award Submissions

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
The Weber State University Women’s Center invites you to take time this April to talk about sexual violence, educate yourself & others on consent and healthy relationships, and commit to believing survivors. According to recent reports by the Utah Department of Health, nearly 10% of Utahans experience sexual violence during their lifetime. Rape is the only violent crime in Utah that is higher than the national average. We know that societal norms support sexual violence (such as strict adherence to traditional gender roles/norms, a culture of silence, etc.), but we also know that there is much that can be done to prevent violence: gender equity, community support, believing victims, holding perpetrators accountable, and having open, honest conversations about relationships and sexual health.
Join us this month as we learn more about sexual violence and commit to ending violence in our communities! Please share this information with any of your networks, partners, and students. Event information can be found on our website.
Start by Believing Day | Monday, April 1st | 11:00 AM - 1:00pm | Shepherd Union Atrium

On this day, we gather to end the silence and change the way we respond to sexual assault. We Start by Believing. Please join us in this global message of support for survivors. We challenge you to post yourself with the “Start By Believing” graphic with the hashtags #startbybelieving #wsuwc #SAAM24 to your social media. For more information, ways to get involved, and to take the start by believing pledge, please visit: https://www.startbybelieving.org/start-by-believing-day/

The Women’s Center Safe@Weber Advocacy Program, the Outdoor Program, and OCRE have created a trauma-informed climbing workshop. The goal of this event is to create a safe space for survivors and allies alike to have a safe and trauma-informed way to learn the necessary skills to rock climb outside on a top rope. Top roping is the safest way to begin climbing, and is a necessary first step for any new climber.

Denim Day - Wednesday, April 24
In recognition of an Italian Supreme Court case held in 1998, where the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction claiming that because the victim was wearing very tight jeans, she must have helped remove them, and by removing the jeans it was not rape but consensual sex. Outraged, women in the Italian Parliament wore jeans in solidarity. This news made it to California and Denim Day has been held annually ever since! Denim is worn by folks on this day to show support for survivors of sexual violence.

Last chance to see Gail Grinnell's exhibition at Shaw Gallery
Gail Grinnell’s …and there’s this lingering thought. will be available to see at Shaw Gallery until Saturday, March 30. Don't miss your opportunity to see this fantastic exhibition in person!
…and there’s this lingering thought., a large-scale suspended installation using evocative materials including mended, tenderly groomed and repurposed blue plastic tarps as well as meticulous drawings on non-woven, translucent polyester interfacing. Her work is a meditation on the wide-spread proliferation of makeshift tent cities in urban settings and the lone desert shelters she often sees throughout the deserts of the western United States. Drawing on the haunting history of her childhood community- a military installation tasked with creating plutonium for the Atomic Bomb- she is reminded that she’s caught up in the co-mingling of historical events with personal matters of the heart. This exhibition asks visitors to contemplate how we attempt to nurture ourselves, one another, and our dreams while standing on the contaminated ground of our own recent past.
