  • The curriculum prepares students to pursue careers in research and the health sciences or to apply their biology interests to careers as diverse as science education and public health.

    Studying biology teaches you how to think and how to observe your world.To learn biology is more than just learning facts! It’s learning how to answer questions, how to develop strategies to obtain answers and how to recognize the answers as they emerge. The department is dedicated to encouraging students to learn science in both an intuitive and logical way.It encourages students to independently question, probe, experiment and experience the natural world around us as well as life under a

  • Resource Conservation ManagementUnderstanding the cycle of material and energy flows through our campus is a very significant part of trying to create a more sustainable campus community. The Resource Conservation Manager in Facilities Management primarily focuses on conserving natural resources (Electricity, Water, and Natural Gas) through infrastructure efficiency improvements, maintenance and operations, and behavior change campaigns. We strive to accurately assess the full Life Cycle Cost

  • IntroductionThis hearing conservation program applies to those employees who are exposed to noise levels that equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) sound level of 85 decibels (dB). Noise exposures should be computed in accordance with WAC 296-817-300, without regard to the fact that personal protective equipment may reduce employee noise exposure. The following examples are typical of high noise level environments that can be found at PLU: Grounds maintenance equipment Machine
