Videos from Reed College's 100th Anniversary (2011):

Enjoyed Gary Snyder's talk here, and I also enjoy his visionary earth, Buddhist, hippie and 1960's informed poetry

In June 2011, I had more than an hour long talk with former Reed College President Colin Diver in his office in Eliot Hall (a few weeks after Reed's Centennial, on a second trip to the NW, as I was heading to the Rainbow Gathering that year in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest)

He gave me a xerox copy of Clayton Christensen's "Disruptive Innovation"

I also took a parallel trip to Portland, Oregon in January, 2015, where I talked at Reed College's Paideia  (which means education, broadly construed) and at the Quaker/Friends' Multnomah Monthly Meeting in Portland:


Here's the WUaS slideshow presentation from Reed's Paideia ...

"How Student Interns Can Wiki-Teach-Develop WUaS, and How Reedies can wiki-teach here and eventually develop WUaS as interns"
