Grant submitted: Spirit Mountain Community Foundation (“Synapses & Stories: Coyote, Grizzly and their Brains”; We plan to bring 12 Portland area undergraduates and graduates studying neuroscience and art to the Lincoln County School District in fall or spring (potentially Toledo Elementary and Siletz Valley Charter School) for a series of three, day long visits aimed at making connections between figures in Grande Ronde tribal stories (including Coyote, and Grizzly) and their relevant neuroanatomy)
Bill is donating money he received from the state of Washington after administrators at WSU Vancouver (and other state institutions) intentionally misclassified many of their part-time employees to avoid providing them with basic health care coverage. (More about this settlement here: Moore v. Health Care Authority)
Bill is also donating his John Eliot Allen Outstanding Teaching Award from Portland State University 🙂
