musician I was well aware of the fine choral tradition at Lutheran colleges around the country. I remember seeing the Choir of the West at a National ACDA Convention in the early 80s and I was impressed. I had been in the Southwest for long enough and an opportunity came up to teach at PLU. The prospect of moving into a choral position at a Lutheran college located in a completely different, beautiful part of the country was very appealing to me. Aside from marrying my wife, Patti, it was the best move

As it looks like online learning will continue into Spring 2021, faculty are

connections I made will serve me for the rest of my career. If you were to offer advice to other students considering internships, what valuable insights would you share with them based on your experience? MM: The most challenging part of this internship was getting to Seattle. It isn’t easy to find housing, so be aware of that and start searching early if your internship does not provide any accommodations. Other than that, internships like this usually give you what you put into them. Also, make sure

students are in completing it. Kakar talks about “milestones” – setting up enough successes early in the year, so that they are able to reach their project goal. All CSCE capstone projects take place over the entire academic year – professors like to get the students thinking about it during their junior year. Any project is going to need many milestones – and a mentor like Kakar to offer support, insight and an occasional whip crack. Even so, there will be enough all-nighters in the project room

and I do in our experiments actually bears many parallels to cooking. By varying the amounts or types of ingredients, the order we add them to the pot, and the time and temperature we heat or cool them, we work to eventually perfect the finished dish – the target compound. Safety goggles aren’t powerful enough to actually let us see compounds we make. And, unlike the chemists of the early 1900s, we don’t taste our products in the lab anymore, either. We must use special instruments to help us “see

astounding and threatening. From there we headed to Red Chili camp to be welcomed by tame warthogs and cold bottles of Fanta, which is by far the best beverage to have on hot afternoons anywhere in Uganda. Several warthogs onsite were raised by the innkeepers and are quite fearless. At one point in time I was even nuzzled by one. The next day, after a delicious meal and a nice sleep shrouded under a mosquito net we headed bright and early, 6:15 to be exact, into the savanna of Murchison Falls. Hasan shot

By Kiara Revilla Beijing, China – Day 3 Today was by no means a busy day but it was definitely an eventful day. We started out with the luxury of getting up a little later then usual (meeting at 9:30!). Our breakfast was the usual mix of fried rice, toast, and fried duck eggs. The first stop was the art district. With our early start most of the streets were deserted and we got to look around all by ourselves. The streets were filled with modern art as well as traditional Chinese art. You could

the science team support the probe. The visualization tool is going to be an orbit plotter that will show the orbit for the probe. How did a sophomore student from the West Coast get an internship with NASA in Maryland? I wanted to apply for something NASA-related since my first year at PLU. My original plan in early high school was to do something business-related because I like math. I always had a soft spot for astronomy. I just didn’t know what I could do with it. I eventually took a physics
