Jewell and Jay James will share their story with the PLU community at 7 p.m. Monday, April 22 in Chris Knutzen Hall in a talk entitled, “Protecting the Coast Salish Treaty, Natural Resources, Sacred Places and Life Ways.” In addition to the environmental effects, the Lummi Nation is concerned about losing irreplaceable ancestral grounds if all

culminating project was the June 27 trade show, where students pitched their products to judges. According to Mark Mulder, PLU’s director of auxiliary services, the point is not to create the next Donald Trump or Martha Stuart, but a business guru more along the likes of Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammed Yunus. Yunus is famous for a business model that makes micro-loans to people, specifically women, in developing countries under the Grameen Bank. Teresa Suprak, president of operations at Farrelli’s Wood

These pollution prevention internship projects will benefit Washington’s waterways and other natural resources. Washington Sea Grant (WSG) and the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) administer the program in tandem. Individual Interns work for a Host Business and will have access to

This year, a three-person PLU

is both natural for brass instruments and challenging in terms of endurance, range and dynamics. Audience members will hear loud sounds, soft melodies, traditional tonal harmony, disjunct modern harmony, and everything in between. At 25 minutes long, it is more than twice the length of an average brass piece. PLU Music Professor and Lyric Brass Quintet member Zach Lyman explains that lengthy pieces challenge a musician’s endurance and stamina. “The music changes style and tonality very frequently

gathered samples and expertly interpreted the amassed data. This research project was part of the Natural Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program (NSSURP). NSSURP allows student researchers to work directly with PLU faculty mentors to experience a learning dimension rarely accessible from the academic-year textbook and laboratory assignments. Research projects reflect the natural sciences fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental studies, geosciences, mathematics, physics

July 7, 2008 Building relationships, building scholars Academic posters, scholarly articles and videos illustrated the intellectual life of the university at the third annual Student-Faculty Research Reception. Sponsored by the Office of the Provost, the reception is just one venue where faculty and student researchers display their work and explain the intricacies of the collaborative research represented. The reception featured 24 projects from the humanities, social sciences and natural

symposiums and to the Scandinavian Cultural Center, among other projects and programs. The Bensons are also among PLU’s most improbable benefactors. Their story is one of remarkable good fortune, followed by unparalleled generosity. “I believe that we have supported PLU because we were called to do it. I think that God had a plan for us,” Jolita said. “We started out with nothing and had absolutely nothing for a very long time. Then we were blessed and it just seemed natural to do all that we could for
