for me I got the chance to work with two great giants in the choral field. I also worked with David Stocker and Douglas McEwen at Arizona State when pursuing my doctorate—both had a huge influence on me.Tell us a few fun experiences, professional or personal, that you’ve had since you began teaching at PLU.

Please walk us through a typical day at your internship and how your role has evolved.  MM: Every morning, I would wake up around 7 a.m., grab my bike, and then scurry out of the Seattle dorm I was living in. Then, I would bike through the congested streets of Seattle to the Fred Hutch Cancer Center. Upon arriving, I would usually say hi to my lab mates, and

$1.25 million matching grant from Pierce County in recognition of PLU’s demonstrated excellence in preparing healthcare professionals to serve the unique health needs of the region and as part of the solution to addressing Pierce County’s shortage of healthcare providers. Pending donor and community investments, the upgrades are slated to be completed by the 2024-2025 academic year. “We’re off to a great start with the A&P lab,” Auman says. “Continued community investment and support will take us to

But life is precious too: the intricacy of the rhododendrons all over campus, the gift of love, the fingers

good way to get students excited about chemistry. And that, as he sees it, is the ultimate goal. “It is one of the things I really liked about working in the lab, as opposed to being in a classroom,” said Uehling. “We would be looking at a reaction, seeing something new and we’d talk about it. I felt treated as a peer.” “Well, when we are looking at a new reaction, something neither of us has seen before,” Yakelis replied, “we are essentially peers.” Associate professor of biology Ann Auman studies

Other students in the MFT program got involved, and they helped put up flyers and spread the word. “I was amazed that Maggie, who I never met in my life, would give up I don’t know how much time…raising money for Isabel,” Liz said. “I had never met her before and she felt compelled to help us.” Donations just started pouring in, and before they knew it the storeroom in the Couple and Family Therapy Center was full. “Before you knew it, it just kind of

everything from literature and white noise to toys and wolf howls. (The music is hauntingly original and, trust us, made to be heard rather than read: Listen here.) Manhattan, in fact, turned out to be quite the meaningful stop for Rottle: She also met the man who would become her fiancé, a jazz musician originally from Australia who was pursing his doctorate at the School of Music. After moving to his home continent, Rottle continued networking and ended up filling in as the flutist for Kupka’s Piano, a

But the main reason is pretty simple.“It’s just the right thing to do,” she said. “It’s not all about us.” The latter often makes white people uncomfortable, said Ciabattari, associate professor of sociology at Pacific Lutheran University. But it’s a conversation they must have, she stressed. “If someone is disadvantaged, someone’s advantaged inherently,” she said. “It’s important for whites to acknowledge the learning process.” It’s easy to overlook whiteness, she added, since it is seen as
