success. An advanced data system and a strong project management office insures transparency regarding that progress. All results are posted on the Tacoma Public School website. As Carla often says, “What gets measured gets done.” That strategic work has led to a growing number of unique partnerships, which have generated positive community support and results for the Tacoma school children. For example, a partnership with the Tacoma Housing Authority has provided housing vouchers for families of

to the Clover Creek watershed. Environmental Chemistry can show changes in water quality due to residential changes in the area. Using ENVT 350 data and comparing it to the WAC(Washington Administrative Code ) can determine if the creek can support salmon life. The lack of salmon present in the creek means that indigenous people cannot harvest their first foods. After the medicine creek treaty in 1854, the U.S. government forced natives into reservations away from their tribes where they harvest

understanding policymaking by looking at the complex variables that influence this process (Hoefer, 2022). This data suggests that humans have had a substantial impact on the nitrates present in the Yakima River Basin as there has been a significant increase over time. Additionally, the method of reverse osmosis filtration seems to be the best suited option for a solution to this problem. Through the lens of the Multiple Streams Framework, the last thing needed in order to decrease nitrates in the Yakima

plant science and data science at the University of Arizona’s School of Plant Sciences Emmanuel Gonzalez may be an accomplished young scientist on track for an impressive research career, but as a high school student, he struggled. After attending Mt. San Jacinto College and Tacoma Community College, he arrived at PLU still feeling “a little bit lost.” “It was at PLU that I decided that college was for me, and that I’d give it my all,” he said, citing the guidance of “inspirational and motivational

bioinformatics. They are writing an algorithm that will take huge amounts of data on protein sequences and produce conclusions, notice patterns and speed up analysis for scientists to use. It is a little bit of biology, statistics, mathematics and computer science. One application of this research is more efficient pharmaceutical drug design. “This is the first time at PLU that computer science has attempted this kind of research,” Cao said. “It is very new and the experience can be used for other students

were galaxolide, tonalide, and sodium tetrahydrojasmonate. Galaxolide was quantified using a standard and found to be present in concentrations of 0.92 ppm. The metal ion concentrations above 10 ppb were zinc at 22 ppb, chromium at 12 ppb, and vanadium at 11 ppb. No metals ions were hazardous at the concentrations recorded. The Kroger tampons had four chemicals present according to the GCMS data, but in low amounts. The highest metal ion concentration was zinc at 43 ppb. Antimony was present at 2

qualitative research methods. Students will learn the major methodologies and ethical implications of qualitative research including appropriate research questions. Students will learn and implement qualitative data collection and analysis techniques. (2) EDUC 721 : Educational Research III: Program Evaluation This third course in the research methods sequence addresses major concepts of program evaluation. This course prepares students to plan, implement, evaluate, and disseminate the results of a job

Los Angeles have been disproportionately affected by particulate pollution exposure. Clinical studies on health issues associated with particulate exposure demonstrate the extreme danger of particulate pollution, while demographic data indicates that people of color are exposed to this danger the most. Issues that cannot be physically observed, such as environmental racism, tend to go unnoticed by the general population. I intend to expose the deeply-rooted issue of this environmental racism, and

; please RSVP via the Google Calendar event invitation. Contact provost@plu.edu with questions. 10:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. | Gender Diversity Workshop, presented by the Rainbow Center – AUC Scandinavian Cultural Center In recent years, we have seen troubling trends in the student success data for students who identify as transgender, non-binary, or who prefer not to identify their gender. Therefore, this workshop is being hosted so that we all can learn more about gender identity, gender expression
