  • researched the House of Representatives’ 2010 and 2012 elections as part of her project, looking at open-seat elections—ones where either candidate has run or won before. Karen Travis, PLU Associate Professor of Economics, believes Moran’s Capstone stood out for NCUR because of the subject matter. “Her topic of the role of campaign expenditures in open-seat elections is timely,” said Travis. “In addition, she included both a theoretical framework as well as sophisticated statistical analysis using data

  • , colleagues say, was a successful grant that brought in money to build a computer laboratory for use in teaching calculus. Bryan’s interest in ancient mathematics led him to new algorithms for computing sines, cosines, and roots (square roots, cube roots, fourth roots, etc.). He incorporated these investigations into his courses and published his work in journals of the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics and the American Math Society. Bryan worked with his wife Celine Dorner – also an emeritus

If collaborating with a U.N. agency seems unexpected for a chemistry major, for Jackie, it’s been a natural outcome from the innovative interdisciplinary approach of PLU’s International Honors Program (IHON).
