  • While at PLU, Margaret Chell ’18 decided to join the Peace Corps after a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer visited her global development class. She was excited about the idea of putting her global studies major to work to help others. In March of 2020, she…

    disparities, like folks who live in the middle of nowhere and their closest doctor is an hour away and the closest specialist is eight hours away,” Chell said. “So, to see this free clinic situated across the street from a phenomenal hospital and people need to access it, was fairly eye-opening to urban health disparities.” Her passion to understand and help create health equity began while she was a student at PLU. As a global studies major and biology minor, Chell says she thrived in the

    Dr. George and Mrs. Helen LongDr. George Long graduated from Pacific Lutheran University in 1966 with degrees in both Biology and Chemistry. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Brandeis University in 1971, where he studied invertebrate lactate dehydrogenases. He then worked on nuclear DNA polymerases as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California at San Diego. Dr. Long was Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Pomona College from 1971-79 and from 1979-1982 he was an NIH Senior

  • Priya McBride, '16, Biology:  My Botany Tutorial was led by Oxford Professor Mr. Timothy Walker, Lecturer in Plant Sciences at Somerville College.

    secondary tutorial is otherwise similar to the primary tutorial: students research the week’s topic, write an essay, and discuss it with their tutor. What are suitable subjects for tutorials?IHON-Oxford students have completed tutorials in many different disciplines, from Physics to Biology to Forced Migration Studies to English Literature. However, the tutorial system is best suited to topics which involve research and writing: tutorials cannot replace PLU lab classes. Click here to see what kinds of

  • Campus Emergency Communications Plan We have two major components to our emergency communications plan. First is PLU Alert. This is our text, voice message, and email notification system. All PLU students, staff, and faculty are automatically enrolled in the system. Second is our campus loudspeaker emergency notification system. Outdoor speakers have been installed to cover...

    /components are aging and need costly replacements. It has been determined that moving to a digital/IP based system is more reliable and effective. The Blue Phones were evaluated for possible retrofitting for new digital equipment; however, to do such a retrofit would cost over $200,000. This led us to purchase the new system of speakers on the outside of buildings. Blue Phones were originally installed prior to the widespread use of cell phones. We believe that calling for assistance via your cell phone
