honored amazing women and men whose work has made
an impact on their community or on the world at large. We
take this time to remember that all human beings are born
free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed
with reason and conscience and should act towards one
another in a spirit of brotherhood. Everyone is entitled to
all the rights and freedoms…without distinction of any
kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religious,
political, or other opinion or national, or social origin,
property, birth, or other status” (Excerpt taken from the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, written by the
UN in 1948.) These words should be in the forefront of

rights of all humans. This is the same message that Jesus
gave while on earth. When He said, “love one another as I have loved you” He did not mean for
us to just love some people, He truly meant for us to love everyone. This has been the message
of CWU since their beginnings in 1941, and will continue to serve as one of the pillars that
