Captivating speaker Rachel Cohen '90 confirmed for Gambol auction
.jpg)
We are delighted to announce that alumna Rachel Cohen ’90 will speak on behalf of the special appeal for financial aid at this year’s Gambol. Rachel brought down the house when she accepted the Distinguished Younger Alumni Award during last June’s alumni weekend. We knew then that Rachel’s story and voice should be shared more widely. “Rachel’s not just changing lives, she’s saving lives,” says Lark Palma. “Gambol attendees will be inspired not only by this alumna’s many accomplishments at a young age, but also by her engaging style and wit.”
About Rachel Cohen
Rachel Cohen joined Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) as the regional executive director of DNDi North America in January 2011.
Rachel has been working in the global health and humanitarian field for more than 15 years, primarily with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Most recently, she served as head of mission for MSF in South Africa and Lesotho, where she oversaw numerous medical programs, primarily focused on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis treatment in rural and peri-urban settings; primary health care for Zimbabwean refugees, asylum-seekers, and migrants; and emergency care for survivors of sexual violence.
Before working for MSF in the field, Rachel was the U.S. director for MSF’s Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines in New York, directing policy advocacy activities related to drug pricing, intellectual property, and medical innovation for neglected diseases.
Prior to joining MSF, she was the director of foundation and corporate giving at Housing Works, the largest minority-controlled AIDS service organization in the U.S., and before that served as the program coordinator for the US+Cuba Medical Project, where she directed medical aid programs and carried out educational and advocacy initiatives about the impact of U.S. foreign policy on the health of the Cuban population.
Rachel now serves on the board of directors of MSF’s operational center in Brussels.
Rachel earned a master's degree in public policy with a certificate in health and health policy from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
Join Rachel in supporting the special appeal for financial assistance!

Boys basketball team wins League playoffs. Next stop: state!
On Thursday, February 17, the the Eagles stunned the Lewis and Clark boys basketball league when they won their third playoff game to advance to the first round of the state playoffs on Friday, February 25.
You think the Blazers have had it tough this season? How about three Eagles sitting on the bench wearing plaster casts around their wrists? How about defeating three teams that had swept the Eagles home and away during the regular season? How about three road games in four nights as the #6 Eagles defeated the #5 Cardinals at Corbett on Monday, the #4 Warriors at Warrenton on Wednesday, and the #3 Cougars at Portland Adventist last night?
Mark your calendar for Feburary 25. Don't miss the Eagles first state playoff game in 28 years when they turn the statewide basketball scene upside-down. We don’t yet know where they will play or which team they will play, but right now nobody wants to play the Eagles!

Service Corps donates books to working poor families
The Service Corps book drive for Bienestar was a great success. Executive director Karen Shawcross writes, "Thank you for the awesome donation of 50 boxes of books to the children of Bienestar! These are going to our community rooms where children of farmworkers and working poor families will enjoy them in four homework clubs and our Summer Reading Safari and Born to Learn programs. We are touched by this generous outpouring of gifts from Catlin Gabel families, and want you to know how much they will be enjoyed by children who have no books at home!"

Girls robotics tourney a great success
Robotics at the high school level engages both boys and girls with its spirit of inventiveness, collaboration, and exciting challenge. Thousands of girls around the world participate in FIRST robotics—but mostly in the marketing, spirit, and outreach areas of their robotics team. Many graduate from the program without having played a significant role in the engineering side of the team, and without having gained the knowledge and skills that come from doing so.
Soccer semifinals on Tuesday.
The boys and girls varsity soccer teams play in the state soccer semifinals on Tuesday, November 16.
The boys play at home against Boardman's Riverside School at 7 p.m. on our home field. This is Coach Mike Davis's final home game. He retires in June.
The girls play Rogue River High School at 3:30 p.m. The game will be played at Grants Pass High School.
OSAA admission fee $7 adults, $5 students.
