‌Campus Access, Resources, and Support

April 28, 2024 - 7:39 p.m.

A hard closure of campus is now being enforced through May 10, and individuals are prohibited from entering or being on campus without permission. The safety and security of our entire campus community are at the forefront of every decision being made. Work and academic instruction will be remote and a process has been defined for authorized personnel to campus access. 

Since Monday, the University’s goal has always been to bring a peaceful end to the occupation. The University continues to talk to anyone willing to have productive and respectful dialogue.

Changes in the Air for Sequoia Park Zoo

Brown Bag Lunch Online with Gretchen Ziegler, Executive Director, Sequoia Zoo

Monday, August 24, 2020 - 12:00pm

From the exciting new experiences and exhibits opening soon, to the unpredictable effects from the pandemic, we’ll catch you up on how the Zoo is faring and how the community can continue supporting this unique asset.

Gretchen Ziegler was born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, and grew up planning to be a zoo keeper working with big cats. She volunteered as an Explorer Scout in high school at her hometown zoo, and went to Kansas State University, where she got a BS in biology and paid experience as a children’s zoo keeper at the zoo in Manhattan, Kansas. After graduation she worked at the Topeka Zoo for six years, gaining experience not only with big cats, but with hoofstock, birds, reptiles, elephants and great apes. She spent two years working with carnivores at the Wildlife Safari in Winston Oregon, until being hired as head zookeeper here at Sequoia Park Zoo, in 1995. She eventually was promoted to zoo director. Her hobbies include native plant gardening, hiking, and observing wildlife.
