HUB Updates
Hey there PC folx! For 2019, HUB is trying to change things up a bit, and we need your help!
Primarily, we are looking for some new employees. I’ll be leaving in May, and this service stays alive because of students! Please consider HUB if you:
-have work study
-are interested in social justice
-want to help folx have access to sustainable transportation
-generally like getting your hands dirty
-Are willing and excited to learn about how bikes work and how to fix them
-Are going to be at PC for a few more years.
If you're interested, get ahold of Locke Hassett or Tyler Gatton. Experience is much less important than passion, and I’d be really stoked to teach folx what I know.
Additionally, it would be great to have a bit more of a fair representation of our student body at the HUB. POC and WTF/NB (womxn, trans, femme, non-binary) folx, please don’t hesitate to get involved. It would be so rad to be able to hold WTF only workshops at the HUB, but that can’t really be done by me =].
Though this is a work study position, it’s also a fun way to get some volunteer hours in, whether that be for a class, the cycling team scholarship, resume building, or just for good vibes.
I know the HUB has been lacking over the last semester, but we have new tools, and big dreams. Group rides, bike in theatres, clinics...the list goes on! This is a super valuable resource for students and the entire community, especially those who don't have motor vehicles. Regardless of the good HUB does, it’s simply pretty fun to play with bikes. They are essentially big lego sets that you can ride. How rad is that? Be part of the fun! Hit me up, and lets play bikes!
Message from Jonathan Best
Dear Prescott College Students... In case you haven't met me, my name is Jonathan Best. I am the Music Gardener at Prescott College. My job is to bring more all-inclusive music making to the campus. My approach to music is based on my belief that musicality is innate to all of us. The qualities of being musical are much broader than what is taught in music school. Life skills and musical are actually one and the same because life and music are the same.
I am available for free, one on one music lessons on any instrument. I also do Interdisciplinary Independent Studies. We can also arrange group ISs. I addition to that, I will be facilitating a Drop-in Music Group which will bend to the needs of whoever shows up. I am currently looking for input on the best times for that. All of these offerings include the guided use of a recording studio with lots of musical instruments inside.
Please contact me at jonathan.best@prescott.edu and include your phone number and some good times to meet. You can also call me at 928-830-4887 but I still need that email.
I look forward to being musical with you.
