Anxiety and depression affected me a lot. I felt like I had lost my craft as a composer. In the Spring of 2017, I was looking for degree plans outside of music.

Her first experience in leadership came during her junior year of high school through the American Legion Auxiliary Girls State Program, and things just snowballed—and focused—from there. “I grew up in a small community in Montana, really tight-knit and very supportive, and I have always felt it necessary to give back and support

Thanks to PLU’s connection to an avid Munch art collector and a featured exhibit at Tacoma Art Museum, students, faculty and staff as well as the greater Tacoma community have the opportunity to intimately experience all those emotions.    TAM debuted its exhibit, Edvard Munch and the Sea, April 9.
