NEWS FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 6, 2016
Antioch University Seattle's New Building Construction
Featured on KING5 News
KING5 News recently reported on Antioch University Seattle's
(AUS) upcoming move from the Denny Triangle to the
Belltown neighborhood, four blocks away. This news
coverage includes both a television news video, also
available online, and a written news article. The video includes footage of the new AUS building as
construction takes place! The new AUS Belltown building is already starting to look like
the architectural illustrations available through the AUS main website.
The article reports on that after selling its current building, AUS is investing in its new
home, which will include cutting­edge technology, the creation of a new bachelor's
degree program focused on health psychology and counseling, and an upcoming
dance therapy program. KING5 also reports that the new AUS building will stand out by standing only three
stories tall, in an area full of skyscrapers. AUS President Dan Hocoy was quoted as
saying "We didn't want to be a 42­story building. We like the idea of being close to the
ground...This is a brand new build that will only be three stories high, which is quite
remarkable for downtown Seattle."

May 31­June 3 Was Heart of Antioch Week at Antioch
University Seattle
Last week, Antioch University
Seattle (AUS) students Pauline Mc
Charles and Lindsey Dire organized
the Heart of Antioch Week, as part
of the ongoing Heart of Antioch
Project. The week‐long event
featured interactive activities, such as
the opportunity to tell stories about
AUS on camera in the library, and the
opportunity to place sticky hearts
around campus with treasured
memories written on them, provided by the Academic Support Lab. The Office of Student
Life offered free coffee and soup on alternating days. In addition, Dr. Mark Hower gave two public lectures about Douglas McGregor. Jordan
Howell set up Conference Room #236 to display an example of the conceptual design for
the new campus's faculty village workspace, and he was available in that space for much of
June 1 to answer questions and solicit feedback. The AUS offices of Institutional Advancement and Marketing both provided photography
displays showing images from AUS's past, present and future. The fountain in the
downstairs atrium was honored as a tribute to the AUS facilities department. The Drama Therapy department provided a Drama Therapy event, titled "The Heart of the
Matter". The Antioch Committee for Social Justice and Change, a new student group, also
hosted a Rally for Mental Health during the Heart of Antioch Week, which pushed for
greater access to mental health services in the community, and which provided an
interactive story wall in the downstairs atrium. Click here to learn more about the Heart of Antioch Project on Facebook. Gottman Institute Level 1 Training, Sponsored by Antioch University Seattle

Antioch University Seattle Student Delbert Richardson's
Traveling History Museum to Appear at African American
Cultural Festival
June 11­12, 2016
Seattle Center
Antioch University Seattle (AUS) Bachelor of Arts student
Delbert Richardson's traveling museum "The Unspoken
Truths" will appear at the Black Arts Fest, presented in
partnership with Festival Sundiata, at the Seattle Center, June
11­12, 2016. This festival is named after the 13th century King
Sundiata of West Africa's Mali Empire, and offers participants the
opportunity to "explore and experience the cultural roots and
contemporary influences of African­American culture through
live performances, hands­on activities, food, fashion and worldly gifts. Join in
African dance workshops, learn traditional drumming rhythms, and take in the richness
of black culture during a weekend filled with continuous entertainment." Delbert Richardson's traveling museum provides one of these opportunities to
learn about African American history through its many exhibits, which include
artifacts that illustrate the experiences of people with African heritage in the
Americas and Europe. For example, exhibits highlight African American inventions
such as cell phone technology, pencil sharpeners, and golf tees, while also showing
grave reminders of racism and the mistreatment of people with African heritage, such
as a runaway slave collar from 1800. Richardson is one of Antioch University Seattle's graduating seniors, and will
be among the students presenting in next week's BA Senior Symposium. Click here to learn more about The Unspoken Truths, click here for the Seattle
Center's listing for this festival, and click here to learn more about Festival

Melissa Mulick: Public Lecture & Dissertation Defense
June 14, 2016 8:00 a.m.
Room 112
Join us for this public lecture and oral defense of doctoral
dissertation by PsyD candidate Melissa Mulick.
The title is: An Exploration of the Experience of Female Same‐
Sex Marriage
The summary is:
In June 2015 the Supreme Court of the United
States ruled in favor of nationwide legalization of
same­sex marriage. While same­sex marriage had
previously been legalized in individual states, this
ruling effectively increased the population of women
legally married to other women. A review of research
historically conducted on female same­sex relationships indicated that
they were often fraught with heteronormative assumptions and biases,
leaving the conclusions questionable at best.
