Dave came to PLU in the summer of ’69. He had cast a wide net in his job search but hadn’t found a fit. Then he got a call from Maurice Skones, the then current chair of the Department of Music, with an invitation to interview for a teaching position.

years, I’ve developed a course for our International Honors program, and I’ve learned all sorts of amazing new music doing that. I’ve done the same for our Nordic Studies program and learned all sorts of great Scandinavian music (from Grieg to Heavy Metal) that I would not have known about without teaching that course. Now I’m working on a similar course in film music for our new Film Studies program. Would you share your favorite memory from a performance? When I was eight years old, I performed

research and professional engagements of faculty members across our professional schools, and so the list goes on. I thank and congratulate each of you because the scholarly life of PLU faculty is a great point of pride for all of us, it is the well spring of great teaching, and so it is magnified in and through the academic achievement of our students. It is my observation that student faculty research and creative projects, along with our capstone courses, are pushing the academic performance level

focus on chemistry at interfaces in which molecular processes occur on surfaces. The site will train students to use spectroscopy, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and computational methods to study materials and molecules at interfaces. All students also take part in a professional development and ethics training program, with a focus on science communication and preparation for graduate school or industrial careers. Through independent research projects and workshop and seminar series, this

more than ever, North America needs to consider alternative transportation. “Conventional passenger rail tops at 80 miles per hour while high-speed rail is 125 miles per hour and up,” said senior producer JuliAnne Rose ’13. “Revamping rail is one way to alleviate some of our transportation issues, but the key question is whether or not our area is right for high-speed rail.” The five student team will reveal their findings in an original documentary, “Sidetracked: Redefining Rail,” set to premiere

But Grossberg is thrilled at the opportunity. “I just love being outdoors, and this gives you an appreciation for the overall research we’re doing and how all the pieces connect, how they all fit together,” he said. Scientific research, he’s learned, is 95 percent failure and 5 percent success. So there is a lot of slogging through data that may not
