But given the experience they are getting, their ability to work so closely with their professor – not to mention the opportunities it might provide after graduation – they all say it is worth the time and effort. Frequently, students are even hired based on their capstone accomplishments. “It has been great,” says Crosetto, a computer science and computer engineering major from Ashford, Wash. “But you realize how much work it really takes.” Just like real life.

States. This is astounding seeing as Uganda is about the size of Oregon. At one point, a Red Kite swooped in from shore and followed our craft for some distance until returning to where it came from as if to identify who we were and if we should be allowed to navigate her river. Sinister crocodiles slipped into the water great distances from us, only to resurface close to our boat. I was surprised by how small they seemed until we reached a portion of the river not far from the falls. Here they

After it’s (the legislative session) done we’ll probably all sleep for a week.” That Cooper has come to love this job is something of a surprise– she never thought she’d pursue a political science degree when she first came to PLU. She had a passion for Egyptology, but after a trip to Egypt working in the Valley of the Kings, she decided it just wasn’t her “cup of tea” anymore.
