College of Education Dean
Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,
I am pleased to announce that following an extensive national search, Dr. Cynthia B. Dillard has been appointed Dean of Seattle University’s College of Education. Dr. Dillard will be joining us from the University of Georgia, where she currently serves as the Mary Frances Early Professor in Teacher Education.
Dr. Dillard brings to Seattle U and the College of Education a wealth of experience as a proven leader. She has served in a number of key academic posts in higher education, including, among others, Chair of the Department of Educational Theory and Practice at the University of Georgia and Associate Dean for Equity and Diversity at The Ohio State University.
This week members of the European Parliament (MEPs) will take part in a vote that will prove crucial to the future of our seas, and the communities who depend on them.
This vote is to amend the Fisheries Control Regulation, the EU’s system for monitoring, inspection, and enforcement of fishing in EU waters and the EU fishing fleet’s global operations. The Control Regulation is key to enabling fishers, decision-makers, and civil society to count the fish taken from our seas, and to monitor the impact of fishing activities on fragile marine ecosystems.
Any changes to this regulation should improve the sustainability and long-term prospects for our ocean and for fishers. However, if MEPs vote to accept all of the revisions currently proposed by the European Parliament Committee on Fisheries (PECH), they could be endorsing a backward step for EU fisheries policy.

SPOKANE, Wash. After a nationwide outbreak at Petco and PetSmart this week, Washington fish and wildlife officials say it’s imperative aquarium owners check for highly invasive zebra mussels.
The mussels multiply rapidly and quickly damage the ecosystems they’re in. They clog pipes, dams and other underwater infrastructures, and when set free in local lakes and rivers, there’s no way to reverse the spread.
“They can grow into three-dimensional colonies that smother native species, and they also can clog water supply intakes and hydro-power facilities,” said Allen Pleus, Washington’s Aquatic Invasive Species Policy Coordinator. “Unfortunately, it can only take one aquarium dump to be the problem.”
Millions of vapers across Asia could feel forced to return to smoking if a proposal from the World Health Organization (WHO) on e-cigarettes and other smokeless products is passed by lawmakers, Coalition of Asia Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction .
