in England, where she earned a master’s of science after blending her PLU degrees—and her life experience—into the emerging field of paleopathology: the study of disease, health, trauma and diet in human biology in ancient societies. “I want to look at evidence of cancer in archaeological remains, and add to a dataset that’s virtually nonexistent,” Hunt said. “At that point I wouldn’t have even called it a field—now it is, but a very, very small field.” A small field, maybe—but one with

PLU Associate Professor of Anthropology Bradford Andrews. One of those is an invaluable painting illustration that artistically has brought to life a market scene in the city of Calixtlahuaca, an important archaeological site for studying Mesoamerican urbanism in the Postclassic period (A.D. 1100-1520). Research at this archeology site has been conducted by the Calixtlahuaca Archaeological Project—supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and sponsored by Arizona State University—in

College of Medicine announced plans to place medical students throughout Central Pierce County who will provide care to the community, have opportunities to live on the PLU campus and have access to PLU and MultiCare instructional and clinical facilities, including the recently renovated Rieke Science Center. “We are deeply committed to expanding medical education and health care access in communities across Washington,” said Dr. Jim Record, dean of the WSU College of Medicine. “Launching this new

financial analysts; Lauren as an accountant at Moss Adams. Master’s graduate Chris will be teaching science at Washington High School; Melanie will be in elementary special education in Clover Park. Sean is off to teach life skills through soccer in Uganda, while Nikki will be working to save lives in the ICU at Seattle’s Children’s Hospital. Yes, the Pacific Lutheran University Class of 2012 is ready for launch, and while the trails you have traveled make us proud; the paths lying ahead stretch our

the liberal arts—A basic understanding of history, language, art, religion, culture, ethics, philosophy and science is a foundation for all more specialized knowledge, c.f., PLU’s ROTC program. Learning and research within community—Nobody pursues an education alone. We were meant to collaborate with each other. It’s built into our DNA. Even an online course assumes there’s someone on the other end helping to lead and guide us while we study in front of our laptop. The intrinsic value of the whole

language. Douglas Oakman, Professor of Religion, served as Dean from 2004-2010. Photo from Prism 2006. Keith Cooper shows that contemporary questions about faith and reason have precedent in a long tradition of philosophical and theological discourse, using that tradition to defend religious belief that is not just compatible with but informed by science. Mark Jensen uses philosophical and literary traditions to reflect on the very project of history, commenting on contemporary debates about art while

graduates are a precious, life changing and transformative force in the world. Let me explain: The first message came on June 26. It brought the crushingly sad news of the death of Army Lt. Brian Bradshaw,a 2007 political science graduate. Brian was a strong student, an ROTC volunteer and leader, who entered the military, in his own words, “not to win a war but to make the lives of people better.” Brian was killed when an IED exploded along a roadside in Afghanistan. Brian left behind several essays

job than your average English teacher—in fact, my students are all products of good English teachers and parents who encourage reading, which I’m so thankful for! I don’t know that I teach them how to write or be creative. I’m not sure that I can do that, in the way that a science teacher does a lab or an English teacher explains verb agreement. I think my role is more to whip up excitement about this work, about books and stories in general, and let them kind of roll around in all of it in a

, manipulated to resemble a model bobsled run. Students get ready to drop their marble at the top of the run and see if it can go around a loop Pyles has made. They’re using math and science to predict what the outcome will be and what they have to do to get the marble to make the loop. “Will it make it?” Pyles asks the first student. “I think so,” a 7-year-old says with confidence. They’ve made their diagrams and it should work. “OK, let it rip,” Pyles says. The marble runs down the pipe and whirls around

individual and communal scholarship life spans the entire faculty population — from the one-year visitor, to the the new tenure-track assistant professor, to the accomplished full professor. Among the faculty awards, recognitions and publications during the past year a very small sample would include: Claire Todd, a visiting faculty member in geosciences and environmental studies, who received more than $120,000 from the National Science Foundation for her research in Antarctica. Kevin O’Brien, assistant
