, welcome!Are you at the point where you think that a history major is the right path for you? Maybe your interest in the past started well before you joined the PLU community, but your studies here have confirmed it. Perhaps you did not have much enthusiasm for historical learning before you took a class here but suddenly realized that “just memorizing things” is NOT the way we engage history at PLU.

further with what they’ve learned and discussed. He wants them to continue the conversations begun in the class, and to remain curious. Above all, he wants students to know that they have agency and can find their own meaning in texts and in the world. Talking to Professor Luke Parker was a refreshing and eye-opening opportunity, and I was happy to hear first-hand about his passion for his studies and his teaching. On my way out the door, he reminded me to remember my own passion and to follow it

these experts monitor. To say working in this division of the USACE is full time commitment would be an understatement. The secondary division of the USACE we were able to spend time with was at the Applied River Engineering Center (AREC) where we saw the astounding manipulations being done to the Mississippi River. These engineering feats are not only improving the efficiency of the river, but are also helping to rebuild and redistribute suitable habitat for the wildlife that populate the area

investment (because such support tends to favor applied research rather than pure research, and because such support tends to come with strings attached). The strongest position to be in—or at least the position that offers the most flexibility and options for facing an uncertain future—is the position PLU is in: that is, a largely undergraduate liberal arts university offering an array of select graduate and professional programs.

suspect sources. Yet students honestly believe they understand the ethics of using sources and feel they know exactly where to find credible information. Faculty wonder, “Didn’t they learn this in high school?” The PLU librarians have been exploring these divides through quantitative and qualitative research studies that examine student research confidence and experiences. We hope to better understand our students in order to serve them better. We also hope faculty can use our data to more effectively

Arbaugh. “His basic philosophy class opened my eyes to ideas I’d never considered,” Zee said. Zee remained at PLU after his BA studies to earn an MBA. “For me, it was not just the perfect way to understand complexities of business and problem solving, it improved my English.” At the time, Watergate and the opening up of China inspired Zee to go to law school. He was accepted at Georgetown, earning a J.D. and second master’s degree (taxation). At Baker & McKenzie, he progressed through the ranks on
