It was designed to represent benefactorIchabod Washburn and his ideals. Here is part of the text from the Kaw yearbook that describes the designer’sintent:He has courage and enthusiasm, as shown by his brisk walk. He is democratic and courteous, for he tips his hat as he passes. Sincere inhis search for truth and knowledge, he studiously carries a book under his arm…and he adapts himself with equal ease to any change or any age.In 2015 Washburn University celebrated 150 years of providing an education to all studentswithout discrimination from the very beginning.

Student Resources Campus SafetyWashburn University is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all students, staff and faculty. As a part of that commitment, the University requires that all new students complete an on-line interpersonal violenceprevention program titled Not Anymore. This video based program provides information about consent, bystander intervention, sexual assault and more. You will see what you can do to help make your campus safer for everyone. MANDATORY FOR ALL NEW STUDENTS Violence Prevention Program Requirement Not Anymore Online TrainingNext Steps • The Not Anymore training must be completed before classes begin. You will receive instructions via your Washburn email account. • Once you complete the online program, your name will be entered into a random drawing for a chance to win a prize. Non Nobis Solum - Not For Ourselves Alone Ichabods are Active BystandersEvery day we witness many things, some good others not. This makes us all bystanders. To help us make gooddecisions about how to respond to what we see, Washburn University offers Bring In the Bystander training. As anactive bystander, you may wonder what you can do to help. • When an active bystander witnesses a harmful act, they safely take action instead of just passively observing or walking away. • We ask all members of the Washburn University community to learn how to recognize a risky situation and practice how to safely intervene. The 3 Steps in Active Bystander Care: 1. Assess the situation – Does someone need help? See yourself as being part of the solution. Educate yourself on what to do. 2. Be with others - Go out as a group and come back as a group, never leave friends behind. 3. Care for the victim - Take action, when you see a potiential risky situation, but be sure to keep yourself safe. Check in with the victim and ask if he/she/they wants to leave (Plante, Banyard, Moynihan, & Eckstein, revised 2008).

Academics Study Abroad & International Programs The Office of International Programs strives to aggressively develop and maintain a level of international competence commensurate with the needs of students and faculty within the university, businesses, and organizations in the community, to promote the value of international awareness. This mission is supported by programs and services in international students/scholars admissions and advising, study abroad opportunities, intensive English classes, international support for faculty, and campus- wide and community international programming. Study Abroad We believe students who have studied abroad or been thoroughly exposed to the richness of history and cultures beyond our shores graduate from the University ready to contribute to a fast-paced global society in which information is delivered instantly around the world. Research has shown that students who study abroad graduate within four years at a higher rate than students who stay on campus for their full degree program. Studying abroad helps you define your goals and focuses your attention. It’s also a great career boost, as employers are looking for recent grads who have leadership skills and experience working with people from other cultures. 26

Campus Life Commuting to CampusTips for Commuter Students Students not living on campus face some unique challenges, but incorporating these tips can help make your college experience rewarding and successful!Maximize your time on campus. To get the most out of your time on campus, space out your classes. Often commuterswill intuitively schedule classes back-to-back in order to leave as soon as possible. Leave an hour or two in-between classes tomeet with study groups from class, to find a quiet place to study at the Library or to visit the Tutoring and Writing Center for alittle extra help.Build in time for parking. Parking might be more challenging certain days and times. The Washburn campus has manyparking lots; most are open to students, and all parking is free! However, parking in a restricted (Handicap Access) or reserved(gated lot, Maintenance only, etc.) can result in the Washburn Police issuing you a ticket. Their more friendly services includeescorting students to their cars, unlocking doors when keys are left inside, and “jumping” for dead batteries. If you know yourclass is at a busy time, always get to school early to find a spot. If you end up getting lucky and have time to spare, see nexttip…..Expand your comfort zone. Striking up conversations in or outside class may feel a little uncomfortable, but it's importantto force yourself, if necessary, to make connections around campus. Otherwise, you'll be trekking to school solely to takecourses and may miss out on a large part of your college experience. Taking the initiative to form study groups or find lunchbuddies may be slightly awkward, but only at first, and it will pay off come test time or when you need to take an unexpectedsick day. Additionally, upper classmen in your program may provide additional insights and guidance you might otherwisemiss, including such opportunities as to when the next club meeting for your major will occur.Get involved in at least one student organization. Finding a club or organization you're passionate about is one of thequickest ways to meet like-minded peers and feel connected to Washburn. Take advantage of group projects and clubs toconnect with other students and make new friends. There are many major-related student groups where students havethe opportunity to shake hands with professionals in their desired career fields that may even lead to future internship oremployment opportunities.Take advantage of social media. Washburn has tons of Facebook pages to keep you informed. Joining in and liking pagesrelated to school organizations that interest you will keep you socializing even when you aren’t on campus. While on Facebook,don’t be afraid to request new friends you connect with in class.Consider a meal plan, bring your own lunch and don’t forget to work out. Eating on campus means you’ll have moretime to spend on studying, you don’t have to search for a parking spot again, and you’re likely to save money. Look forstudent hangouts. When you don’t have the option to leave your dorm door open, you have to meet people in other ways.For commuters, it’s no surprise that three popular places to meet new people are the Library, the Rec Center (SRWC) and theStudent Union. The Rec Center is an excellent spot to work out tension, especially from that dreaded math test!Set expectations for home. If you continue to live in your family home, it may seem like an extension of high school,or if you are a parent, difficult to have distraction-free zones. Have a family meeting to clarify expectations about chores,curfews and rules, and define boundaries that will help promote your success as college student. If you live off campus witha roommate, the same advice applies – talk about shared duties, designated study time/space, etc. Seek guidance from ourCounseling Center if this proves to be a challenge.Get a part-time job on campus and/or join a sorority/fraternity. If you’re a full-time student, you may not have timeto juggle a job AND a sorority/fraternity as a commuter. But be aware that each has its advantages: both will build yourresume; rushing will help you network and socialize, and a job will fund your future pursuits. If you can handle all of this andcommute, go for both! For success in the classroom, it is recommended that you work less than 20 hours/week. 38
Campus Life Dining ServicesResearch shows that college students who spend more time on campus perform better academically, graduate sooner,and enjoy richer academic interactions than those who spend only a small amount of time on campus. Students whoeat on campus, enjoying time in the community with peers and professors, rather than eating alone or in small groups at home, are far more likely to succeed in the rigorous academic environment of college life.
