she was highly impressed with the level of collaboration exhibited by this year’s student competitors. This year’s competition was held in PLU’s Morken Center, and required coordination from a number of departments and offices, as well as the School of Business. Emeritus professors allowed students to use their offices during the competition, campus safety gave students all-hours access to the building, and the Math department and Natural Sciences Division funded student registrations and provided

will be in Kelley Café, after it reopens. All in place thanks to sustainability initiatives led by Hachet.The second-youngest of five siblings, Hachet grew up in Orient, Ohio (population: 252), where climate change isn’t always widely accepted as a fact. After taking AP Environmental Science, Hachet became fascinated by sustainability—and also joined the gardening club. He started “Operation Green,” a student group that collected recycling from classrooms for recycling and canceled school junk mail

adoption. Second, since moving back to the U.S. a few years ago, I’ve noticed a more widespread willingness to step into conversations regarding race and ethnicity. It seemed like my book could be a useful tool for unpacking conversations regarding identities, especially in sociology departments. A third reason for writing this book now was for personal reasons. I’ve loved writing since I was in middle school, but also, I hope to help with higher education costs for some cousins in Colombia through any

ACS Bridge Program (ACS-BP) Posted by: nicolacs / January 19, 2021 January 19, 2021 The American Chemical Society is now accepting applications for 2021-2022 ACS Bridge Fellows. The ACS Bridge Program (ACS-BP) was developed to increase the number of students from underrepresented (UR) racial and ethnic groups obtaining a Ph.D. in the chemical sciences. ACS-BP assists UR students with getting into and succeeding in graduate school. As an ACS Bridge Fellow, students enroll in a one- to two-year

year (FY13) Instructional Technologies began a projector and screen replacement cycle with a goal of replacing the oldest projectors that were beginning to experience yellowing at the edges. This process was started in Morken Center where the projectors were eight years old. At the same time, the new projectors were converted from a 4:3 aspect ratio (width= 4 units, height = 3 units) to the newer 16:9 high definition (HD) formats. This summer fifteen projectors and screens were replaced in Hauge

. Americans get another hefty dose of corn from cornstarch, corn oil, and high fructose corn syrup. We consume three times more of the stuff than actual kernels of sweet corn. Chemists can distinguish from a single hair follicle the percentage of our diet that originated from corn. Corn photosynthesizes carbohydrates four carbon atoms at a time, and it has a preference for carbon atoms that have more neutrons than those found in rice, wheat or potatoes. Neutrons are subatomic particles that reside in the

, screened Feb. 17 at the Seattle Central Public Library, 1000 Fourth Ave. in Seattle. The other two portions of the series will premiere in Tacoma later this spring.  Episode III (Sedalia, Missouri- race) and IV (Richwood, West Virginia- class) will be featured on April 5, at 7pm in Ingram 100. “A World of Difference” was jointly sponsored and supported by PLU’s School of Arts and Communication, the Wang Center for Global and Community Engaged Education and the university’s Diversity, Justice and
