Bannon left his adviser’s office inspired. “She helped me see that something I was really passionate about could be found in libraries,” he says. “I never would’ve made that connection.” Later that spring, Bannon was accepted into the University of Washington’s Master of Library and Information Science program. Now, 26 years later, Bannon is the New York Public Library’s first-ever Merryl and James Tisch Director, responsible for directing NYPL’s 88 neighborhood branches as well

promptly used her new position to meet with organizers, where she was able to offer suggestions and work to implement them. For Relfe, now a continuing senior political science major who is considering PLU’s graduate program in Marriage and Family Therapy, this was a perfect opportunity to join her past experience on another campus with PLU’s focus on plugging students into situations where they can best succeed. “The chance to get involved and make real changes – that makes you feel powerful,” she

endeavored to move a several-hundred – pound whale skeleton from the chicken coop – located at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife storage facility in Lakewood – to PLU earlier this year. He propped up the third – obviously older jawbone- in the corner, and then turned his attention to the other two. With a heave, these were placed in the back of a pickup. On to the next group of bones. For two hours, Behrens, along with Audrey Thornburg, the Rieke Science Center’s biology lab manager, and

After visiting some friends at a few other colleges, Sandgren walked away with a different perspective. “When I was in those other cafeterias I was like, ‘Wow, ours is way better,'” she said. Sandgren is a big fan of the wet burrito with green and red chili sauce. And she loves any of the Asian options, like peanut noodles and pad Thai. That’s the whole idea, according to McGinnis – build a

That’s the attraction of Q Club. With over 28 years of dealing with students, I see how much promise they have, how much they want to learn. That’s the beauty of this program; that’s the point of why I give back. So many students could not be here without that aid. They work for it and

gathering point for all Antarctic expeditions and scientific research. Once at McMurdo, they will spend two weeks learning about how to survive on the ice (they’ll be living out of a tent, 500 miles west of McMurdo), packing their food, and going over their itinerary for their six-week stay. Joining them on this expedition, which was funded by a $125,000 National Science Foundation grant secured by Todd, will be two University of Washington students, a researcher from the University of California

, Markuson said. Students’ majors include everything from music to science, and there is a diverse mix of under and upper classmen. Bendzak said LUNICYCLERS is one of the most culturally diverse groups on campus, representing men, women, international students and even football players. With growing popularity and the graduation of its founder, LUNICYCLERS was in a transitional period and Markuson stepped up to continue the group and its mission. “When people succeed or laugh or have fun, those are the

Science Center in Seattle. “This is a rare opportunity to have these kinds of objects in Seattle,” said archaeologist Donald P. Ryan, director of the Pacific Lutheran University Valley of the Kings Expedition. It’s been more than 30 years since Seattle has seen the wonders of the King Tut exhibit, and the current North American tour showcases twice as many artifacts as before, many of which have never been seen before in the United States. During a dig in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, Don Ryan

This surprised him. “Previous studies indicate that the fetus seems to remember musical rhythms,” he said. “They now seem to be able to learn language partially.” Kuhl added that infants are the best learners on the planet and while understanding a child’s brain capacity is important for science, it’s even more important for the
