We hope in the future to receive enough funding for students to have the opportunity to go out into communities like Honduras, Panama, etc., to gain hands-on exposure. PLU Pre-Health Sciences AdvisingWhat inspired you to start this club, in particular? Being a pre-med student, or a student thinking about any health science grad school, can be a lot. It can also be hard to get a feel for what preparing for medical

that is constantly innovating. He does this by bringing students into his lab to help him build a better battery. It’s a goal he has been working toward for more than a decade. Over the years, close to 30 students have been involved in the process.Backed by a $213,500 three-year research award from the National Science Foundation that Waldow received last spring, four students spent 10 weeks this past summer participating in intensive lab experiences. “The first week or two of working in the lab

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
