middle school math and science teacher. No roads lead to Naknek, which survives predominantly on the summer salmon fishing industry. The only way to get to Naknek is by boat or plane into nearby King Salmon, Alaska, which at one time served as a U.S. Air Force base. The area’s one paved road is the 15-mile stretch of blacktop constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between King Salmon and Naknek. During the fishing season, the airport serves thousands of fishermen and cannery workers who come

He said that enough scientific information points him in the right direction, and moving beyond science he said caring about the planet is simply common sense. “If you live in a beautiful environment there’s more of an incentive to care about the environment,” he said. It was PLU’s organ that attracted the green professor to the

What’s my impact going to be? We’re really getting out there and starting to live that.” Club Keithley is about making that

the development of the new Master of Science in Finance program. He points to the considerable time both he and Brown spent in the business world. They both stress pragmatism. It informs the way they teach, and it underscores the value they place in putting students in situations that focus on real-world business and finance issues. “As much as we can simulate reality, then our students will have an edge,” Boeh said. “So the question is: What can we do to simulate reality?” “One of the lessons

Eventually, I came around to double majoring in political science and global studies, plus a minor in Hispanic studies. I really connected with global studies at PLU. I had a great IHON experience and I was in the Wang Center a lot. The study away program was one of the main things that drew me to PLU. I studied abroad in Oaxaca, Mexico and completed an internship at a rural development organization that was

me about ways people perceive and interact with the environment and asked me to critically consider negative social externalities that arise from pollution and other concerns. I really enjoyed these classes but wanted the opportunity to take more math and science courses and ended up shifting the environmental studies degree to a minor and adding a chemistry major. The Hispanic Studies degree was really inspired by my high school Spanish teacher. I took AP Spanish 4 and 5 in high school and loved
