Our many thanks to Dr. Lori Sheeran for sponsoring this lovely day of sanctuary in honor of the faculty and staff of the Anthropology Department at Central Washington University!
“Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2025! With heartfelt thanks for your support of primatology students throughout the years.”
We are so grateful to Lori, and everyone involved in this incredible program at CWU who work so hard to help ensure the best possible lives and futures for not only the sanctuary’s resident chimpanzees, but all of our fellow primates.

Thank you Dr. Sheeran for sponsoring this day and thank you for the work you and your students do. And. thanks Katelyn for fotos of my favorite fabulous four.
I wish to second the words Dr. Sheeran in gratitude for the Faculty, Staff, and Students of the Department of Primatology (and its subset, the Anthropology Department). Katelyn, your choice of photographs for this blog post (and for Wednesday’s blog as well) is impeccable. I love the scholarly portraiture of Jamie, Cy, and Raynie; one assumes that the textbook which Rayne Marie is holding is critiqued in the groves of academe in Ellensburg.
Thank you Dr. Sheeran for today’s sponsorship! And thank you to the faculty and staff of CWU Anthropology Department for preparing the next generation of Primatologists to head out, ready to change the world for primates and communities living near our wild great apes.
