The end is only the beginning…
Hello to all of you out there!
I’ve been away form writing for the school blog all summer, but now that vacation is almost over and school is soon to begin, I figured it was about time to get back into the swing of things.
I’m beginning my junior year here at Evergreen. After taking a humanities-based program (Awakening the Dreamer, Pursuing the Dream) freshman year , and a sustainable design program (Green Studio) as a sophomore, I am starting my junior year in a class called Studio Projects: Land and Sky. It’s a 2-D and 3-D art program focusing on how we fit into the landscape, and how we shape it/it shapes us. I am so excited to be able to focus all my scholastic time on doing art, and for those of you not familiar with the Pacific Northwest, the landscape here is remarkable and inspiring.
My time not in class will be spent organizing a new student club on campus, which is also very art based, and working as a Student Ambassador (maybe some of you reading this will meet me in person one day). And of course, there is always a show to go to featuring some of the many talented local bands, as well as some awesome touring bands. I might even try to find the time to volunteer at the Northern, which is Olympia’s new all-ages music/arts venue.
Well, I’m excited to be back, and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into Junior year! It’s gonna be a juicy one!

Hello Cameron,
I have an off-the wall question, but since you’ve been at Evergreen the past 2 years you should be able to answer it. I want to get a cell phone plan for my son who is a new student at Evergreen and will be living on campus in the dorms. I’ve been checking out the cell phone coverage online for Evergreen, but none of the companies seem to have very good coverage in the area. Can you tell me which company has the best coverage on campus?
Hey,
This is actually a very legitimate question, as Evergreen is in the middle of the woods and can have temperamental cell phone reception. I have had pretty good luck with AT&T. I had service in the dorms and many other places on campus. I looked at some coverage maps, and Verizon looked like it had OK coverage here, but I feel like I’ve talked to a lot of friends who have Verizon and have trouble finding service on campus.
That’s my insider scoop, thanks for checking in with me!
