OP: Get students back in classrooms A successful t OP: Get students back in classrooms A successful transition back to in-person learning is essential for students’ mental health Zach Nelson • March 15, 2023 Many of us can probably remember those first few months of 2020—the weeks leading up to the widespread closures of seemingly everything in our lives. I worked at a shoe store at the time, and each day after the onset of the pandemic fewer and fewer customers came in until the store closed. Our globalized world had never faced a pandemic such as this before, and even to this day we continue to experience it. Our basic ways of life changed in the wake of these closures—social distancing, working from home and impromptu remote school.   For students, this switch from in-person education to online learning was especially challenging. The transition impacted younger students even more, taking their formative years from them. It is only now that COVID-19 has decreased in severity that educational institutions are able to assess the damage the pandemic inflicted upon their students and begin working to catch those who were left behind. It is of the utmost importance that these solutions focus on bringing students back into the classrooms, engaging with academia in-person alongside their peers and teachers.

ARTS: Pour the Water As I Leave: Renaissance of Co ARTS: Pour the Water As I Leave: Renaissance of Community Arts A film that gives voice to refugees Alyssa Anderson • March 15, 2023 Bosnian-born, Portland-based artist and filmmaker Daniela Repas shines a spotlight on the experiences of refugees and other displaced people with her upcoming film Pour the Water As I Leave.   The film, which got its name from the Bosnian tradition of pouring water behind a guest as they leave to wish them a safe journey, is part fiction, part non-fiction animated documentary about the exodus of Bosnian refugees during the Bosnian War.   On March 3, 2023, the Pour The Water As I Leave team held an opening night at a gallery space at 220 SE Market Street in southeast Portland. They will be displaying an installation of photographs and drawings from the film until the end of the month to raise awareness and funds to animate Repas’ drawings into a 90-minute feature-length film.

NEWS: PSU Student Government proposes self-reform NEWS: PSU Student Government proposes self-reform The changes aim to redistribute power and promote cultural engagement By Zoë Buhrmaster • March 15, 2023   Changes are happening inside Portland State’s student body government, with the proposal of a new governmental system intended to promote growth within the organization. New positions, including new titles, duties and a rewritten system for ASPSU’s current operations are proposed for fall of 2024.   In the new system, the most notable difference is that the current eight generalized committees that make up the majority of ASPSU roles will be narrowed down to just two: a Student Life Committee and a Student Advocacy Committee. Instead of eight directors each overseeing four senators, there will be one chair for both committees, five ASPSU coordinators and one senate speaker for each committee.   “Aside from just being coordinators of these different areas, having more people on the committee and having a more solidified function of their committee, we also want these roles to act as advisory boards for fee-funded areas,” ASPSU President Kierra Wing said. “This is a really exciting part that allows for more student representation and more input of the student voice.” Link to full story in bio Illustration by @hannna.o.design https://psuvanguard.com/psu-student-government-proposes-self-reform/ #PSUVanguard #PSUStudentGovt #ASPSU #Reform
OP: Release the footage Portland Police should hav OP: Release the footage Portland Police should have body cams—and that footage should be public By Ian McMeekan • March 15, 2023   Like police departments in many cities, Portland Police have considered the use of body cameras. The road to body cams in Portland has been long, and there are still many differences in opinion between the Portland city government and the Portland Police Bureau about what they would look like, per KGW. If and when Bureau officers do wear body cams, they need to be implemented transparently—the public should have more direct access to footage collected so they can see what really happens on police calls.   When police are called to a crime scene, what proof do we have that the police report accurately represents what happened? This is a question that our city government and the police union have engaged in tense negotiations over. “The city of Portland and the Portland Police Association have, once again, come to a familiar sticking point over the use of body-worn cameras: pre-review of video footage by cops,” according to Willamette Week. “On Friday, the two parties released their final offers. There was no middle ground. The police union wants officers to be able to review the camera footage in instances of potential excessive force before they write reports, and city attorneys have argued that pre-review by cops could negate the intended effect, which is holding cops to a higher standard of accountability.” Link to full opinion in bio // Illustration by @kelseyzu.design https://psuvanguard.com/release-the-footage/ #PSUVanguard #Police #BodyCams #BodyCamFootage
NEWS: PSU announces tuition-free degree program Th NEWS: PSU announces tuition-free degree program The program would significantly reduce the cost of education for eligible students By Pippa Massey   In a progressive move, Portland State has announced the launch of a tuition-free degree program which aims to make higher education accessible to all.   Beginning in the fall of 2023, the new program will reinforce the Four Years Free and Transfers Finish Free degree programs, covering the remaining tuition and most mandatory fees after financial aid is applied. Portland State Vanguard had a conversation with Chuck Kneplfe—the Vice President for Enrollment Management who oversees admissions, financial aid and orientation for the university—to talk about the new program.

OP: Bring back the snow day Remote learning on sno OP: Bring back the snow day Remote learning on snow days isn’t serving anyone By Julia Trujillo   Last Wednesday, Portland braved a historic snowstorm with a 10.8 inch snowfall that broke the daily and monthly record, according to the Portland climate book published by the National Weather Service’s Portland office. Portlanders confronted perilous icy roads; fallen phone lines and trees; and power outages that caused widespread closures of businesses, public transit and schools. In response, Portland State enacted a campus closure from Feb. 22–24—during which, per PSU’s inclement weather policy, classes “held on the PSU campus” were canceled while online classes carried on via Zoom and Canvas. In a post-2020 world, the separation between our lives at home and our lives at work or school has become blurred. The COVID-19 pandemic required us to establish structures to continue on with our obligations and learn and work from anywhere. But must we always embrace the constant connectivity of the digital world, even when it comes to the rare and precious Portland snow day? PSU should maintain traditional snow days and cancel classes—online as well as in-person—when physical buildings are shut down.

ARTS: Review of Hazel Jane Plante’s upcoming nov ARTS: Review of Hazel Jane Plante’s upcoming novel A diary of love: exploring relationships, music and trauma By LeeAnn Rooney   Spoiler Alert: Brief novel narrative described, and some book quotes included. Hazel Jane Plante, writer, musician and podcast host, is close to publishing her second novel, a trans femme fictional, double-sided memoir of the life and times of Tracy St. Cyr. Plante has an MA in English, has studied experimental poetry and enjoys taking chances and doing things differently. She described her novel as a palimpsest, writing over the top of distant and recent trauma. “[It is] much less vulnerable to have it couched in fiction,” Plante said.   Plante is innovative in her ability to evoke emotional resonance, how it feels to be in a body and be conscious and present. The book shows how sometimes we only show people what we want them to see, but there is much more complexity beyond the external façade of a person.
