Then the next day we went to California Adventure, and ran around all day. In the chaos of a three day adventure at some of the most famous amusement parks one memory stands out from the rest. My brother, father, and Bella went on a big scary ride, so mama stayed behind with me. We found our way near the entrance looking for

, but also East German and post-Unification literature and film, and language pedagogy. Before coming to PLU, she taught at Mount Holyoke College and the University of Notre Dame. She is delighted to be part of PLU’s German program, which is large enough to offer a robust variety of courses to its majors, yet small enough to allow close collaboration and exploration between students and faculty. She is particularly grateful to be able to teach language and culture at PLU, whose commitment to global

Visiting the tombs and pyramids, I realized that while I loved learning about ancient civilizations, I knew excavating in the dirt just wasn’t for me. That same year, my sophomore year, I had also taken my first political science class: political thought with Dr. Peter Grosvenor. After reading many of the classical political philosophers, I saw another path to

We will explore, through various critical literary lenses, how disease, illness and death are represented in these stories, which articulate the K’iche’ cosmogony and their relationship to nature. In our class, we will explore what these ancient stories about epidemics, survival and resilience can teach us about how to come to terms with features of existence like the COVID-19 virus.

strain of the cycloheptene hetero Diels-Alder adduct causes a significant difference in the temperature and or time of thermal decomposition versus smaller cycloadducts. If these cycloadducts decompose by retrocycloaddition at or near physiological temperature they may have application as thermally activated triggers for pharmaceutical delivery by means of self-immolating polymers in biological systems. 3:10-3:20 - Break3:20 pm - Porous Iron Anode for Use in Metal-Air Batteries Hannah Seal, Senior

the axial position for a platinum (IV) complex can also help regulate the reduction rate of a prodrug to an active platinum (II) complex. Other strategies such as functionalization with nanoparticles, have contributed to the safer delivery of the therapy drugs with an increase in drug accumulation to cancer regions. Photoactivation of these upconverted nanoparticles with Near Infrared Radiation (NIR) can promote bioimaging and improve the understanding of the mechanism of action of a given
