Keeping in time with the Mills Community since 1917
Who are the best professors to study with?
Professor Julia Sudbury: She really encourages us to not only learn the theories, but gives us opportunities to put them into practice through SL. The issues that she teaches are also relevant to contemporary issues in our society today.
Mills students and members of A Call for Climate Leadership (below) gathered outside of the new Sustainability Center. ACCL said "Reversing global warming is the defining challenge of the 21st century. Addressing this threat successfully will mean transforming our economy, our institutions, our daily lives-and doing so within a generation.
While many Mills students will begin their summer vacations by relaxing and blowing off post-finals steam, a few women will be using the extra time to push their minds and bodies even harder. Five students are preparing themselves for the ride of a lifetime, which will not only test their strength, stamina and determination, but will raise needed funds for AIDS services as well.
Faculty and staff in Mills Hall must now work behind closed doors at all times, in compliance with the building's fire code regulations.
An April 2 memo sent to the Mills community by the Office of the Provost stated that "Open doors constitute a fire hazard, and allow a fire to spread more quickly due to more oxygen that can fuel a fire.
For 16 years, yoga instructor Jeanne Dowell has uttered the same words to her Mills students at the end of every class as they rouse themselves from relaxation: "Honor that great spirit within yourself, and that same great spirit in others."
Dowell now has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share those words with an even bigger audience.
Students will now attend science classes in the newly christened Betty Irene Moore Natural Sciences Building, thanks to a multi-million dollar pledge by the Gordon and Betty Moore foundation.
According to Virginia Rivera, vice president for Institutional Advancement, the Moores donated $4 million to cover construction costs of the building because they wanted to name it.
In an effort to better represent and serve students, members of Mills' student government said that they are preparing a number of structural changes that they hope will take effect by the Spring 2008 ASMC elections.
The Associated Students of Mills College currently comprises a large executive board and a legislative congress.
