Schrecengost ’09 drove to the east coast to conduct research and interviews in Washington, D.C., Toronto, Ottowa and points elsewhere. They were gone for nearly a month. They researched the “grow-ops” of Surrey, B.C., the houses that are used as indoor marijuana farms. They walked East Hastings Street, the spot in Vancouver where those with multiple addictions gather and are marginalized. They participated in a ride-along in Toronto that resulted in a high-speed car chase. Gritty stuff. “We were really

has skyrocketed, with the U.S. using 300 million gallons of the fuel in 2008. That number is expected to double this year, according to statistics from the National Biodiesel Conference in San Francisco last month. Much of Standard Biodiesel’s fuel is not used in fleets (although Standard trucks, of course, use the fuel and the company has a public pump for the locals) but it’s mostly used to run boilers, Clifford said. The company’s next big research push is trying to recover the grease from the

research into PLU. But really it is Sarmast’s story that is so powerful and offers a unique perspective about the people of two countries who may not be as different as they think – Iran and the United States. She was born in Iran, but moved to the United States when she was 9 years old. For many years she worked in the music industry managing and collaborating with worldwide sensations, such as Bon Jovi.

We make two landings a day on average, including Zodiac tours between icebergs and the one visit to Palmer Station, the smallest of the three U.S. American research stations on the continent. And we are constantly surrounded by rugged mountains stretching nearly straight up from where we can see them starting in the chilly water. There are obviously too many experiences and emotions to rely in words here. It’s going to take a long time for us I think, to

for student-faculty research and student-faculty collaboration,” Tonn said. “We just didn’t have that kind of space before.” It provides for academic programs that require a higher level of technology such as mathematics, computer science and business, which previously had limited technology available to them. The renovation of Xavier Hall did the same thing for social science programs: improved teaching space, collaborative space and improved infrastructure and technology. The building was

Canem Prize. Her poetry invites us into a world thick with the lush bounty of summer in the Far North, where the present is never far from the shadow of the past. She teaches at University of Alaska Fairbanks. Nicole Stellon-O’Donnell, Steam Laundry Stellon-O’Donnell found a cache of letters to and from one of the first women to arrive in Fairbanks during the Gold Rush. From these letters grew a novel in verse form, the latest title from Boreal Books. She will speak about her research in the Alaska

She and three other professors read nearly 100 applications each year from faculty around the country looking for funding to do research in central Asia. Reading those applications helps Joanne help students working on Fulbright applications—she gets to see firsthand what works and what doesn’t. I recently applied for a scholarship for graduate school in Germany through

Hilltop neighborhood, the Buffalo Soldiers Museum seeks to educate, preserve and present the history and contributions of America’s Buffalo Soldiers through educational programs, historic research, youth outreach programs and exhibits. “The Buffalo Soldiers Museum in Tacoma provides a great chance for Tacomans to understand this important but little-known piece of American history,” Mergenthal said. “It’s wonderful that this museum can both celebrate local connections to the subject and provide an

valiantly supported by a dedicated team of doctors at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. In her short time with us, Rae Linda made an indelible mark on PLU. She was a supreme champion for student access and she inspired many students with her remarkable journey from humble beginnings to Yale University, where she earned both her master’s degree in African American Studies and her Ph.D. in Musicology. Music filled Rae Linda’s life. Her grandparents, father, aunt
