Wilderness First Responder Certification Course

Certification as a Wilderness First Responder is the industry standard for outdoor professionals including instructors, guides who lead multi-day group trips, Search and Rescue personnel, wildland firefighters, trail crews, rural EMT professionals, and those who take part in other high-risk or extended-stay outdoor activities. This hybrid course focuses on the assessment and treatment of traumatic, environmental, and medical emergencies in a wilderness environment. The course is divided into two distinct parts and you must complete both parts within one year to receive certification. We recommend you enroll no later than mid-February 2021.  Learn more and sign up here....

Lecture by WNMU Assistant Professor of Ceramics Courtney Michaud

WNMU Assistant Professor of Ceramics Courtney Michaud will present “Lucie Rie: The Mother of Modernism in Utilitarian Ceramics” virtually on Friday, May 21, 1:30 p.m. “The artist I chose to discuss is a famous functional maker who was prevalent in the mid-20th century during a male-dominated era of pottery,” Courtney said of her talk, which is part of an influential women in art lecture series at the Las Cruces Museum of Art. "Lucie Rie quietly paved the way for generations of artist-potters who were looking to make personally expressive pottery that was reflective of the modern world around them. She chose her own path, creating work that embodied modernity and placed aesthetics at the forefront of vessel-making."
