restrooms in Rieke Science Center and the library’s new Center for Student Success are now gender-neutral and ADA-compliant. These changes follow pedestrian improvements that recently were completed by Pierce County in partnership with the university. The projects are the first to be completed from a list of many priorities identified as part of a campus-wide audit last year, Orr said. The $120,000 effort pinpointed all of the facilities out of compliance with ADA. “This audit allowed us to see fully

2016, they crafted a research paper examining those experiences, which are often marginalized at in higher education. It focused on how black students navigate the natural hair journeys on campuses in the Pacific Northwest. Taiwo and Hambrick jumped at the opportunity to write the paper after learning of a political science journal accepting submissions on the theme of #BlackGirlMagic, a movement created in 2013 by CaShawn Thompson to celebrate black women.

maintaining physical distancing. Take our virtual tour to see/remember what it’s like to walk across campus, experience the beautiful Lagerquist concert hall, attend a science class, and more. Smaller class sizes. PLU’s smaller class sizes — with a student-to-faculty ratio of 12:1 — make it easier to accomplish physical distancing. Fully 76% of classes in Fall 2019 had 25 or fewer students — and just 2% of all sections were at full classroom capacity. Roughly two-thirds of all PLU classes could

you walk into President Belton’s office on the first floor of Hauge the first thing that might catch your eye is the large sign behind his desk. Painted in PLU’s signature black and gold, and in all caps, it says “SEE THE POSSIBILITIES.” It’s a statement piece that ties together the collection of PLU-branded adornments throughout the room. More importantly, it’s a daily reminder. Belton says he takes a good look at it every morning before sitting down at his computer.  “There’s a reason I have

two years – logging over 400 hours – before deciding to branch off in a new direction and enlisting the help of fellow science geeks Mark Lee ’13, an applied physics major, and triple-threat Mimi Granlund ’13, an arts, physics and math major. The threesome needed to build their own system, which consisted of a cylinder capped with a sandpaper disc to act as a “tongue.” The cylinder would plunge into water and then be lifted out through a pulley system. This would be photographed by a high-speed

Lt. Col.

most about yourself when you’re sacrificing for more than your own well-being. The military isn’t for everyone, hell, maybe it wasn’t for me either. We can all live and die in our comfort zones, but where does that leave those in need and where does that leave the potential, better version of ourselves?
