Welcome!

Welcome to the official blog of the University of the West (UWest) chapter of Amnesty International.

Our constitution's preamble states:
    Amnesty International’s mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights. Amnesty International is independent of any government, political ideology or religious creed. It does not support or oppose any government or political system, nor does it support or oppose the views of the victims whose rights it seeks to protect. It is concerned solely with the impartial protection of human rights.
Our club officers at present are:
  • Group Coordinator: Danny Fisher, M.Div.
  • Secretary-Treasurer: Jesse F. Tanner, M.T.S.
  • Faculty Advisor: J. Bruce Long, Ph.D.
  • Membership is open to any student, faculty member, administrator, staff person, trustee, or other member of the UWest community (spouses, partners, family members, etc.) regardless of race, gender identity, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other status protected under international human rights law. Membership is voluntary, and people can join the organization at any time.

    We meet Mondays at noon in the cafeteria. Come join us!

    Dear Danny,

    The new Amnesty Int'l. looks great -- quite attractively laid-out for a quick and easy scan, and quite professional looking.

    See you soon.

    Dr. Long
