We had 10 days of intense programming on Zoom for about 100 students and faculty that went really, really well. It was

They’ve connected with the university’s Center for Community Engagement and Service to offer adult English as a Second Language programming. They also are working with other long-running PLU programs that are connected with Keithley and Washington, like Big Buddies. “This is an important collaboration between Parkland and PLU,” Rogers

More importantly, I’m using Rails to design a little piece of software that scrapes data from social media sites using the hashtag as a search tool. Want to see all the Facebook photos tagged with #PacificLutheran or #PLU? This software can do it. Want to read every tweet that makes reference to #election2016? This software can do that too. I
