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.

LB's Updated COVID-19 Regulations

Colleges and universities have made many adjustments to the state’s already established masking, distancing, and quarantine rules, including having students attend Zoom school instead. LBCC was no different. LB started winter term off with more in-person classes offered, 26%, exactly, according to LB’s education plan, which is on their main website. The Commuter contacted Jennifer Boehmer, Executive Director of Institutional Advancement, and she gave a full account of how the school plans to respond and keep guidelines updated and its students and staff safe. LB is keeping in close contact with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Linn-County Health Department, and the other colleges and universities in Oregon for updates on cases and what they recommend doing, she said. “We just learned of a new federal distribution of testing kits in our area and are working quickly to determine how LBCC can assist in distributing these kits to our community” through the Linn County Health Department, ...
