Hey Redhawks! Summer is coming up fast, so we asked CCE's staff what's on their bucket list. Can you can figure out who each staff member based on their bucket list responses? Who wants to spend a night under the stars vs. next to the campfire? Who wants to take a walk along the water vs. watch the Blue Angels? Stay tuned for each bucket list and tell us who you think they belong to! Let us know in the comments or stop by the CCE office and grab a treat at the front desk when you have your answer ready. The person who gets the most matches could win a vintage CCE swag item!

The Student Experience at CCE centers around Community Engaged Learning (CEL), a process that connects concepts in the classroom to service and engagement experiences in the community. CCE works with instructors to identify community organizations where Seattle University students can be matched in either placement-based or project-based experiences.

Walk for Rice (walkforrice.org) is this week, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you at Seward Park on Saturday morning, May 16!

We’re honored to welcome back KING 5’s Christine Pae and longtime community leader Harold Taniguchi as our emcees for the day. They’ll guide us through a morning filled with powerful performances from the South Seattle Nepali School, GDPT Truc Lam Lion Dance Team, Apex Diabolo, and Seahawks Dance Team.

Bring your dogs in costume, too! We’ll have a fun dog parade, so our four-legged friends can be part of the Walk for Rice celebration.

Donations to the ACRS Food Bank will be gratefully accepted at the event. We strongly encourage making donations online at WalkforRice.org in advance or by mail to ACRS to ensure they count towards your team's or page's fundraising goal.
