question, how to rule things out, how to set controls and interpret the new data.” Deane is one of approximately 30 students paired with about a dozen professors from the Division of Natural Sciences under PLU’s Summer Undergraduate Research Program. Each year the program gives up and coming scientists, such as Deane, a chance to do field or lab research, and gain hands-on experience that is rare for an undergraduate. Science faculty met with the students in February, who then applied for the

on data the company collected from its survey of administrators at several hundred colleges in each region, as well as staff visits to schools over the years and the perspectives of college counselors and advisors. “We also gave careful consideration to what students enrolled at the schools reported to us about their campus experiences on our student survey,” Franek said. The survey asked students to rate their colleges on several issues—from the accessibility of their professors to the quality
