STORY & CONTRIBUTORS Over the years, many individuals and organizations have contributed to the scientific research and conservation efforts of Clover Creek Watershed. However, with so many different contributors, it can be difficult to find one collective place for all the research that has been done. As a result, compiling a comprehensive list of contributors has been an ongoing effort. Over the past 25 years, Clover Creek has been the focus of ongoing scientific research and conservation

offers suggestions on updating our university sustainability points of pride. Shalom Wundimu (PLU ’22) Hometown: Las Vegas, Nevada Major: Environmental Studies Minor: Chemistry “With respect to it being the last year of my undergraduate career and as a student on the pre-dental track, I have begun to reflect on how my current studies can be applied to my future profession. From the presented projects, I selected “Resource Conservation” as my DJS Fellows project as I can continue to identify ways of

identifies the insects, working in and outside the lab studying the spread of West Nile virus. Blakney said it was PLU’s commitment to global citizenship, social justice and environmental conservation that helped her discover her vocation in public health. “It’s easy to get lost in numbers and statistics,” she said. “Having had that encouragement at PLU to think about social justice and environmental concerns helps humanize the numbers.” Blakney long assumed she would go to medical school. But after a

Gombe Stream National Park, where renowned primatologist Jane Goodall began her work studying chimpanzee social and family life in 1960. While in the country, Webb’s independent research project looked at the conservation program run by the Jane Goodall Institute in Kigoma. It focuses on community development and education as the backbone of environmental conservation. “For someone who is interested in chimpanzee conservation, it’s a place you have to go,” Webb explained. Webb visited the national

working in conservation. Why did you want to pursue an environmental studies degree? I’m a tree hugger, so naturally this major caught my eye. Genuinely, though, I chose Environmental Studies because it teaches me to use multiple fields of study to approach environmental issues. That’s a pretty useful skill for anyone to have. Pursuing this degree also allows a thorough focus on multiple interests, and it’s rewarding to juggle my love for the sciences and humanities at the same time. Why did you

2023 Physics Capstone SymposiumSenior Physics capstone presentations will take place Monday, May 15th starting at 2pm in Morken 210. 2:00pm Gann Wilcox – “Conservation of Electrical and Thermal Energy – a High School Lab Manual” Typically, conservation of energy lab exercises only relate mechanical energy (kinetic and potential). These forms of energy are visually intuitive, but these limitations deprive students of the big picture of energy conservation. As a future high school physics
