There is no medicine like hope, and education offers hope by extending the privilege of learning. The School of Education aims to positively influence the region, the nation, and the world by equipping educational leaders. This goal is shaped by our Christian faith and values as articulated in Micah 6:8: And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. We are committed to preparing you for service and leadership among diverse learners in schools and communities, including specifically urban schools and communities. And we are committed to doing this by developing both your professional competence and personal character as an educator in order to positively influence student learning. Through the integration of service, leadership, character, and competence, the School of Education prepares you to live out SPU's mission: to engage the culture and change the world.
Ask Yourself the Following What is it that gets you out of bed to go to work? At the end of the day, what difference did you make? If leading others is so important, why is it so hard? What difference does your faith make in who you are and what you do? What experiences in your life changed you forever and what did you learn from them? What would you sacrifice for the sake of those you lead? For the faculty and staff of Seattle Pacific University’s Industrial/Organizational Psychology program, these are important questions that deserve answers. And the process used to answer them is something we call research. Research Is Foundational Research provides the foundation for making informed decisions about how we should organize, what’s important to people, and who should lead. Research also gives us the tools to evaluate the impact of our decisions. Our Focus SPU’s Industrial/Organizational Psychology department is focused on equipping students with the best research training available, in order to prepare them to be scholar-leaders who are fully committed to the goal of changing the world of work over the next 10 years. So what’s our focus? Changing the world of work, one meaningful conversation at a time … … one student, faculty member, and stakeholder at a time. The Big Picture Graduates of the Industrial/Organizational Psychology program will become Scholars who possess the necessary tools, theoretical knowledge, and analytical skills to launch their academic or consulting careers. Practitioners who apply their knowledge and skills to manage change, utilize scientific methodologies, and improve the organizations around them. Leaders who guide organizations, motivate and build teams, and develop future leaders. The Bigger Picture: Our Faith Statement Seattle Pacific’s Industrial/Organizational Psychology programs are built upon a Christian faith perspective. However, an open-enrollment philosophy welcomes students of all faith backgrounds into our master’s- and doctoral-degree programs. Both the master’s and doctoral faith integration courses encourage students to examine concepts of leadership, work, and vocation from a biblical perspective. Masters degree students complete one, four-credit faith integration course (ORG 6001) Doctoral degree students complete two, four-credit faith integration courses (ORG 7001 and 7002). Throughout the Industrial/Organizational Psychology program, each student is encouraged to discover and refine his or her personal sense of vocation and convictions related to faith, life, work, stewardship, and organizational leadership.
Osprey Letterpress is a letterpress print shop run by Murray Sampson with help from Juliette Oliva. We specialize in fine press printing of a wide variety of items, from wedding invitations to wine labels. We can be found in the “Center of the Universe” - the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. The shop is open mainly by appointment, though we do try and keep the doors open Sunday-Thursday from 2-5 for drop-ins and to allow people to see the wonderful art we display in our client area.
In 2005, at the end of his design program at the University of Oregon, Murray Sampson heard about a class doing letterpress. At that point, he had little idea of what it was, but thought, "Hey, I hear this is a good class so I'll give it a shot." What that started was a lifelong love of the art and craft of printing. After graduation, Murray joined the Independent Publishing Resource Center in Portland, OR, to continue printing. The IPRC helped fill in some of the gaps in his knowledge and gave him a much needed creative outlet. He remained a member until leaving Portland in 2007. Murray's print shop began initially as an extension of his design business, Sublime Point Design. In 2008 he purchased his first press, a Kelsey Excelsior 5x8, and ten cases of type. He set up a small studio (really small - 110 sq.) in Walla Walla, WA, and started Sublime Point Press. He created custom invitations and wine labels for Yellow Hawk Cellar, a craft winery in Walla Walla, WA, as well as greeting cards to give as gifts. In 2008, Murray purchased his current press, a Chandler and Price 14x22, from a larger shop in Walla Walla. Unfortunately, lacking space for this press, he had to put it in storage for the next two-and-a-half years. In the meantime, he relocated to Seattle to complete a degree in library science and did some small print jobs on his Kelsey in the basement of his house. In April of 2012, Murray reached out to other printers in the area and met Peggy Dow, a retired printer interested in keeping it up as a hobby. Murray and Peggy quickly found a space in "The Center of the Universe", the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. By May the C&P was moved up from Walla Walla and by June Murray was printing. Today the shop has three motorized C&Ps, over 90 cases of type, Boxcar bases for printing from photopolymer plates, and more paper than there is room for. Murray's at the Fremont Sunday Market on the weekends and in the shop three days of the week. The balance of his time is spent helping teenagers find their next great read in a local high school and biking, rock climbing, and running.
