Vashon College offers Vashon 101

We all know we live in a very special and unique community composed of an amazingly diverse population. But have you ever been curious about the island itself…it’s geology, ecology and history. Or the culture, the social science and demographics that give insight into the past, present and future of our island and its population.

From March 13th through April 17th, Vashon College will again offer its signature course, Vashon 101:A Journey Just Begun. This six-session survey course examines the Vashon story from multiple viewpoints presented by a faculty of experts in their respective fields: Joe Meeker, Kevin Freeman, Tom DeVries, Bianca Perla, Bruce Haulman, and Alice Larson. The course facilitator will be George Butler.

Vashon 101 participants represent a diverse spectrum of Vashon’s population who are engaged and committed students who will seek opportunities to utilize what they’ve learned to the benefit of the the island’s communities.

Classes meet on Tuesdays from 7-9pm at the JT Sheffield Building. Tuition is $150 and includes all course materials and Images of America: Vashon-Maury Island by Bruce Haulman and Jean Cammon Findlay.

Class size is limited to 30 students. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis beginning February 1st. They are available on-line at www.vashoncollege.org. For further information, please call Pamn Aspiri at 206-313-5895.
