The college's 75 hours of outstanding events in honor of its 75th anniversary will conclude with the 2008 K-Rod Run/Walk.

Please join us and run or walk in his memory while raising funds for the endowed scholarship in Kalani's name which funds scholarships for athletes attending Clark College in Vancouver, Washington and, more importantly, raises awareness for the treatment of brain cancer.

The starting line for the 5k K-Rod Run/Walk is at the Christiansen Soccer field in the Clark College Athletic Complex. Clark College is located at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver, WA. Registration opens at 9 a.m.; the run/walk begins at 10 a.m.

Ellis Dunn Community Room Gaiser Hall 213

With election day approaching following one of the most heated election campaigns in U.S. history, Clark College will launch its 2008-2009 Faculty Speaker Series with a timely discussion on “Politics, the Press, and Polarization.” The discussion, led by Clark journalism professor Christina Kopinski, will be held on Thursday, October 30 from noon to 1 p.m. in Gaiser Hall 213. Light refreshments following. Discussion highlights will include ethical criteria established by the Society of Professional Journalists, the difference between libel and slander, and ethical challenges facing journalists today. One subject likely to be discussed is a controversial DVD recently distributed by The Oregonian and other newspapers. The Clarion Fund, a nonprofit founded in 2006 to address what they called "the most urgent threat of radical Islam," spent millions of dollars distributing the DVDs, mostly in battleground election states. Other likely topics include: *Does the race to be first-to-print trump responsible journalism? *Does a blogger qualify as a journalist? *Do different standards apply to public figures versus private citizens? *Is “hate speech” protected as “freedom of speech”? Students, faculty and staff are all invited to attend this timely discussion. About Christina Kopinski Christina Kopinski joined Clark College in fall 2006 as a tenure-track faculty member. She teaches journalism classes at the college and serves as advisor for The Independent, the college’s student newspaper.

Her academic experience includes teaching experience at Barry University and Miami Dade College, both in Florida. In Illinois, Kopinski taught at South Suburban College, Kishwaukee College, and Northern Illinois University. Her journalism experience includes serving as an elections correspondent for the Chicago Bureau of the Associated Press. She worked at the Morris Daily Herald (Morris, Illinois) was producer and co-host of “Sunday Night Politics,” a weekly political discussion on WLRA-FM at Lewis University.
