Miller Market, which had moved to a temporary trailer last year while its space in Miller Hall was under construction, has reopened in its old location.

For sale in the completely redesigned space are a variety of grand-and-go items, such as sandwiches, donuts, soup and juice. The market also features drip coffee and espresso.

A bit of construction is still going on in the background, as the new covered courtyard and dining area behind the market isn't quite finished.

The Center for International Studies at Western Washington University will play host to its third annual fall reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 23, in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room.

The reception is an event welcoming international students to campus.

Everyone who is a part of the WWU campus community -- including faculty, staff, administrators and students -- is invited to join the Fall 2010 Teaching-Learning Academy dialogue.

The TLA’s primary goal is to deepen our collective understanding of teaching and learning from multiple perspectives and will begin by developing a big question related to teaching and learning that is relevant to everyone.
