Studying away wasn’t necessarily Andy’s intent when he arrived from Arvada, Colo., to study math and engineering. But he quickly learned PLU makes it easy for students to immerse themselves in another culture. There is a campus office dedicated solely for that purpose. There are

As a retired professor of chemistry at the University of Nevada at Reno, Gene knows the value of top tier equipment. “It allows students to do more research in the frontiers of science,” Gene said. “It teaches students how to use state-of-the- art equipment. And for students that breeds confidence – they know they can do good things.” The LeMays talk about how they benefited from the high quality equipment and the facilities they had access to when they were students. They want

We try to keep this thinking in mind when we’re planning chapel services, and it’s also inspired things like our Reflect, Learn, Celebrate Queer Faith discussion series and a recent Bible study about decolonizing scripture. This is your seventh year as university pastor. How has the way you think about your unique role on campus changed become more nuanced, or perhaps even changed a bit, over

On the first day of the competition, students picked from between three potential problems to solve and then spent the next 100 hours surveying academic literature, developing and testing mathematical models, and producing a paper to justify their reasoning and prove their models’ efficacy. While students can draw from books and online research materials during the contest, they cannot receive outside input on the problem and must rely on each other to generate a solution. Zhu said

My dissertation (as of right now) will examine the politics surrounding the development of Holocaust consciousness in the United States in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Last semester, I completed a paper about the first conference to focus women’s experiences during the Holocaust which took place in 1983. I learned just how controversial feminist analysis of the Holocaust seemed in the 80s, which was a key
