Munro did her part by streaming and posting videos that led the class through each cooking component while fielding questions and sharing information in the forums. Students also served as a sounding board for one another, conducting peer reviews as each special project was developed, revised and perfected. After seeing the way students responded positively to Chem 103’s course debut, Munro is ready to declare her food

While Henrichsen was interning at the U.N., she discovered how frequently journalists were killed on the job, so she began conducting research with Lisosky. First, they presented a paper at an academic conference, then their research was published in a journal. This became the basis for Henrichsen’s Master’s program from 2008-09, when she was a recipient of the Fulbright Scholarship

I attended public schools in central Iowa and then earned a BM with an Education Certification from the University of Iowa. Next was a MM in Trombone Performance and Literature from the University of Notre Dame, and finally a DMA in Orchestral Conducting from the University of Iowa. I consider my major teachers to have been John Hill and Frank Crisafulli as

Some composers work from a small collection of notes to a larger piece or, like Youtz, have entire orchestral pieces start playing in their head. About 15 years ago, a colleague asked Richard Nance, director of choral activities, to write something for a Puyallup choir at Christmas. The

the reduction of some 16,000 service members (from JBLM) would have ‘no significant impact’ to the region,” said Farnum. “Folks in the region said that that was untrue, so they are conducting the listening session to hear directly from those whom would be impacted.” Among those attending the listening session will be Joel Zylstra, director of PLU’s Center for Community Engagement and Service. He worries that such dramatic cuts to JBLM would be harmful to the local economy and to the quality of

I have also worked with some students who have done well in these classes in conducting student- faculty research on a variety of animal-related issues. This work outside the classroom has resulted in collaborative projects that have been presented at conferences and published in books and journals. For me, scholarship and teaching are fluid aspects of one process and they regularly blend into each other. I
