Chris Treasure, a freshman from Spanaway, said that this On the Road adventure held the same pull for him. “I like to give back to the community,” said Treasure, who plans on declaring a chemistry major. PLU work parties such as this one have been working with the Puget Creek restoration society for the last decade or so, pulling out the weeds, replanting and doing the scut work needed to bring this once flourishing stream back to life, Hansen said. And even though

He said he chose PLU because he liked the liberal arts aspect, and he wanted to study science. “I saw them as a nut to crack in some ways,” Malloy said. “I wanted to challenge myself.” Malloy, who double-majored in Chemistry and Computer Science, credits PLU with propelling him onto his career path. “I probably wouldn’t have gone to Guatemala if I hadn’t gone to PLU, and then I wouldn’t have gone to Columbia University or married

Environmental science tied Chontofalsky’s passion for science and nature in a new way. “People look at Wapato Lake and wonder, ‘Why is this water so clear?’” he says, and now Chontofalsky can explain the chemistry of water treatment and the lake clean-up process. “It’s just been a cool experience,” he says.

the All Saints students—especially the way so many of them seemed to know what they wanted to major in in college: theater, chemistry, mortuary science, psychology, chemical engineering, sociology, business, communication, English, economics, and history.  The Principal of All Saints, Ms. Carla Sarauw, and the College Counselor, Ms. Dena Langdon, stressed how much it meant to them and the whole school to have close connections to PLU, and Dena pointed out to the group that “It looks like PLU could

She will be going directly into a chemistry Ph.D. program at the University of Washington in the fall. “I’m so qualified to be in that program, and this has really helped,” Stein said of her project. Nataly Meyer ’13 and McKenzie Allen’s ’13 student-teaching capstone led to an opportunity to travel to a remote region of Alaska, where they taught at
