Abby Williams Hill (1861–1943) was a painter and activist with an insatiable love of travel and learning. Just as her artwork provides us with a lasting vision of many of the iconic sights of the American West, her papers paint a remarkably rich picture of American life between the Civil War and World War II. The collection was donated to Puget Sound by Mrs. Romayne (Ina) Hill."

We look forward to sharing some of the stories of the Center for Intercultural and Civic Engagement (aka the Yellow House) and what we are about as well as highlighting the work of our many partners on and off-campus.

In a world where politics and government increasingly impacts the everyday lives of global citizens, there is an everpresent need to inform the people around us. Created by us, a collection of students, The Commons aims to act as a forum for undergraduate students to share their work, promote new ideas, and educate their peers.

On some occasions, multiple issues appeared in a single year; in others, none at all. In 1996 and 1997, volume 8.1 appears twice, an error in numbering that suggest to some extent the precarious history of its existence. Nevertheless, between 1986 and the present, a remarkable series of editors, associate editors, and authors with the assistance of several dedicated LMDA administrators published over fifty issues of the Review.

The Archive wishes to thank Brian Quirt for collecting and forwarding the LMDA Canada Newsletters, and to all the editors and authors who have made these publications possible, with particular appreciation to Jeremy Stoller. Owing to the somewhat occasional nature of the publications, Identification by date, volume, or number is not always consistent. Finally, our ongoing appreciation to Lori Ricigliano (Retired Associate Director of User Services and Theatre Liaison Librarian, University of Puget Sound) for her many hours of commitment to this archive and the art of dramaturgy.

Wetlands Magazine aspires to be an inclusive, accessible, critical and safe forum for student advocacy. The magazine was founded during the 2011-2012 academic year by then-seniors Anya Callahan, Ruby Aliment, and Megan Chambers as a student club. In 2013 Wetlands Magazine was made a part of the Gender Studies Program, and in Spring 2015 it became an official ASUPS medium.

Wetlands Magazine is staffed, edited and as of 2014 funded entirely by students. Because of the nature of a student publication, the magazine is itself a project constantly under reconstruction, always dynamic in response to the concerns of the campus community. We hope to facilitate and contribute to a comprehensive reflection of unique experiences and thoughts in our community through the medium of a student publication oriented toward the advocacy of marginalized students and the celebration of their identities.
