Join us April 22nd for the Inaugural Celebration

We hope our alumni and friends community will save the date and join us for the celebration and installment of George Bridges, PH.D. as the President of the College on Friday, April 22, 2016. More details will follow.

Last month President George Bridges met with the Olympian Editorial Board to share his long-term goals for Evergreen’s educational future and for the Greener and Olympia communities at large. From the article,

“What he’s seen so far, Bridges says, is a good faculty, a great campus and a college culture that he’d like to see get more interactive with the Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater communities it serves… Bridges also says he wants the university to be more effective in the way it guides new students into Evergreen’s unique program.”

Throwback Thursday – Snow Day! #tbt

Skiers on Red Square

Winter quarter began with a slushy start on Monday morning after a dusting of snow fell over the weekend. We love this throwback picture from January 1989 with skiers on Red Square enjoying a major snow storm.

Do you have memories of snow days at Evergreen? We would love to hear from you!
