Nicholson Pavilion will have a new look at the beginning of the 2008 Central academic year as multiple upgrades are under construction now through the summer.
The three-phase project is in its final stage and includes a new gym floor, additional seating and an upgraded sound system.
Central’s residency teacher preparation program and the administrator preparation program have just been granted accreditation by the state, effective immediately through 2013.
The Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB) unanimously approved both programs on May 21 at their annual meeting in Wenatchee.
This is the last issue of the Observer for spring quarter 2008, and we wanted to let some of our graduating staff members share their thoughts as they transition into a new phase of life.
Summer is the season to celebrate music, whether east or west of the mountains, inside a small town café in the Wenatchee Valley or tucked in the Columbia Basin beneath open skies.
For students planning to stick around Ellensburg for the summer, due to summer classes, work and rent obligations or a simple love of the town, summer jams will not be hard to find.
A challenge course is making its presence felt north of campus. The large structure is the newest addition to University Recreation and Outdoor Pursuits and Rentals (OPR).
The challenge course, often called a ropes course, consists of a series of activities or elements, which present different challenges to participates. Included into this new program are low and high elements. The low is never more than four feet off the ground, while the high rope element can in some cases reach 60 feet, perfect for combating fears in a safer way.
