gathered samples and expertly interpreted the amassed data. This research project was part of the Natural Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program (NSSURP). NSSURP allows student researchers to work directly with PLU faculty mentors to experience a learning dimension rarely accessible from the academic-year textbook and laboratory assignments. Research projects reflect the natural sciences fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental studies, geosciences, mathematics, physics

. We should consider learning from the Americans who know the most about weapons–the U.S. Armed Forces; they take weapons safety seriously: private weapons must be stored in the secured armory on the base–no private weapons are allowed in houses on base.  People with weapons have to have annual safety and marksmanship training and a current license.  If they live off base, they’re expected to own a weapon safe to keep them. I also agree with my barber, who is a marksmanship instructor: we need

maintain and, when possible, strengthen the excellence of our programs. I have referred to this effort as making “selective quality strikes” and I believe they are especially important in these difficult times – we cannot stand still. So, for example, major progress was made last year in responding to the NWCCU accreditation recommendations on assessment of student learning, faculty review policies, and institutional research. Planned revisions in general education moved forward on schedule. In

before entering this internship? Zero. This is my first time. I had no inclination to enter the political world. Right now, this internship is showing me how our legislature works, and there is value to that, even though it’s also confirmed I do not want to work in the political world. But, I am making meaningful connections where I can, I am learning things where I can, and I think that is all I can ask for. What skills are you gaining from this experience?

foundational things to what I’ve done in my career. What’s your best advice to current PLU students who might be interested in a career in the IT field?  The best advice I would give is to start your career at a place where you can have tremendous opportunities to learn and grow. You’re not done learning when you get your bachelor’s degree at PLU. You’ll have some great knowledge and skills to offer, but you should still be focused on growth. Early in your career, especially, look for jobs that will
