Corvallis School Board Member: Luhui Whitebear Elected for Seat #4

Corvallis recently had an election for four open school board positions. The candidates all varied on stances about anti-racism, schools’ inclusivity policies, and many different ideas and opinions on other current and future policies. Photo from a feature story from liberalarts.oregonstate.edu Luhui Whitebear, an advocate, hiker, poet, and mom ran for and now is in the fourth spot on the Corvallis School Board. Many people might recognize Whitebear from her work as the Center Director of the Kaku-Ixt Mana Ina Haws at Oregon State University, or from her activism work for the Indigenous community.

EDI Hosts Support Animals Informational Zoom Event

LBCC’s office of Institutional Equity, Diversity & Inclusion held an informational Zoom event on Jan. 26 to spread awareness and facts about support animals. They described the three main types of support animals. The first are therapy animals. They are intended to provide emotional support to people who are in a variety of situations, including hospitalized people, people who are in group homes because of age or if they have disabilities, people who are in school, and people who are in other high-stress situations. The second, and more widely known, are service animals. The Americans with Disabilities Act only recognizes dogs and miniature horses as service animals because they have less illnesses that humans are susceptible to.
