Chance Brock (faculty mentor: Dr. Saxowsky) and Colin Peterson (faculty mentor: Dr. Waldow) both won poster awards

pandemic has been very frustrating and has impacted the lives of every educator, causing them to halt or have to find new ways to adapt projects and their work.

It is neither my natural nor standard role, but nothing about

secrets of the natural world. From the tiniest cells to the largest organ systems, we dissect, analyze, and compare to unravel the mysteries of life. But it’s not just about memorizing facts and figures. The class emphasizes the importance of analyzing similarities and differences across vertebrate groups to unlock the true significance of adaptations. By exploring the historical and present diversity of vertebrate morphology, you gain a deeper understanding of the intricate web of life surrounding us

history, and the benefits (and shortcomings) that innovative products and ideas have brought. For these reasons, I’ve taken the plunge into the new Innovation Studies minor. Innovation Studies is a new interdisciplinary program at PLU that focuses on innovation (surprise!) and entrepreneurial thinking. The goal of this minor is to encourage creative thinking and adding value to companies and virtually any endeavor. The program hopes to nurture and push students to come up with big ideas that will

supplies, office supplies, children’s toys, games for adults and, of course, books. But those will be easier to browse through too, Dopp said. Rather than just a mishmash of products, different boutiques or departments can be found throughout the store. Looking things for children from books to games, go to the children’s section. “We wanted to bring it all together to make it easier for all our customers to shop,” she said.

It’s innovation. It’s ingenuity that made us rich, not just getting more bricks. If you have a completely stagnant population, then you’re doomed to a non-progressive society.” McCloskey argued for capitalism, but not the capitalism she’s seen promoted in the last 30 to 40 years. “This system of market-tested

building apps and producing “connected products”—so Venuelabs perfectly fits the bill. Crist calls the funds from Salesforce.com “a great source of validation that they [Venuelabs] are on the right track.” During his time at PLU, Crist took part in many School of Business events, including Washington Family Business Awards and Young Entrepreneurs, and says these programs helped him “reach outside the classroom” while still in school.
