students’ working relationship with faculty members helps students become entrenched in their studies. Through student-faculty research, students incorporate their own experiences with academia in a way that Lewis says improves critical thinking, writing and understanding of students’ subjects of interest. Cynthia Waite '20 Waite’s project, a study of faculty-student mentoring, caught the spirit of the day. Psychology Professor Wendelyn Shore, an expert on the topic, was Waite’s mentor, and was

finished a 270-page manuscript for a local Tacoma executive, which is a book on motivation. In the process of developing books for executives, I’ve worked with a rocket scientist/CEO, several attorneys, physicians, and many other professionals. My current projects include a book on creativity/thinking, several children’s books, and organic gardening, which are all my own projects. I am also developing a seminar on creative thinking for businesses and their executives. After living in Idaho for the last

They also learn about library literacy and research methods from Amy Stewart-Mailhiot, an associate professor and teaching librarian at PLU, as well as attend mandatory meetings with Hames to make sure their projects are on track. “They learn to be critical readers,” Hames said. “It’s a lot for them to do.” Estrada’s work

helping to develop policy as well as reviewing other proposed policy, thinking about how it could affect paleontological resources,” Foss said. “We work on and review a lot of environmental impact statements and assessments, making sure they are adequate for paleontology. “We’re also really big in the planning and management process of public lands. If there is going to be a pipeline, right-of-way or an energy corridor that may affect a lot of paleontological resources, I get involved and explain how

We found that temperature had no considerable effect on the reaction rate, time only allowed the reaction to proceed further to a certain point, the enophiles used all performed at a similar rate, and the solvent was critical in minimizing competitive side reactions. 3:10-3:20 - Break3:20 pm - Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Ethylene Oxide Functionalized Oxanorbornene Dicarboximide Monomers and

and provides critical input, the preceptor does not bear the burden of a final decision about the student’s grade or success.  After reasonable effort has been made to support the student meeting expectations, the clinical faculty will determine the grade the student has earned.  Neither the student, PLU, future patients, nor the profession benefit from “failing to fail” a student who is not meeting expectations even after every effort has been made to help the student.

technology, I will describe the critical neural mechanisms underlying this important transitional period for speech learning. Further, using machine-learning models, we were able to predict individual infants’ eventual language acquisition outcome when they were assessed at 6 years of age, by using their own neural activities at recorded 11 months of age. Critically, speech learning outcome during this important transitional period is highly malleable by auditory experience, such as the quality of speech
