Humans for Housing is a non-profit organization whose mission is to help educate the public on issues about homelessness and housing issues. In September of 2024, Housing for Humans produced the film “No Place to Grow Old”. Directed by Davey Schaupp, “No Place to Grow Old” tells the stories of three older adults navigating life without a home. As well as the growing housing crisis in America today. You can view the “No Place to Grow Old” trailer below, along with a few videos on the Academic Excellence Showcase’s 2025 Presidential Plenary Speaker: Michael Larson.<\/p>\n

More details and information will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n This theme hopes to encourage the interaction of the arts and sciences via the inspiration of the STEAM program. More information will be coming as the event approaches.<\/p>\n The Plenary will include:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPower\u201d means many things and is something we interact with every day. We take power for granted when we flick a switch and the lights in the room turn on or we walk into a building that is a comfortable 72 degrees when it is 35 outside. Power in political, social and personal interactions shapes our relationships and our emotions. Sometimes power is all around us but easy to forget and sometimes it is as scary as a category 5 hurricane. At the 2018 Academic Excellence Showcase, we explored the various meanings of the word \u201cpower\u201d through the lens of academic disciplines that span the breadth of WOU\u2019s academic programming.<\/p>\n\n
