ACTIONHere’s how the group grappled with how (and whether) equity work and thinking — conceived of as “diversity and inclusion” or “D&I” at PLU — might be considered innovative: Tyler: Well, let me start with this: I think the way that we in the American and Western paradigm understand D&I is through the lens of capitalism. We’re looking for something new, something lucrative, something about ownership and commodity and quotas that can be framed as something innovative, right? And because of that, I get a

course we recruit students from states all over the Western United States, and even all over the world, but we pair those efforts with a commitment to provide an excellent education to local students who might not have imagined they would be able to attend a high-quality private university.”Ferguson has worked in university admissions for nearly 20 years, and even she admits it can be a confusing process. That’s why she’s been an integral part of efforts to effectively communicate these new

Simon Award for Achievements in Global Education. We became on that day the first independent university in the Western United States to be so recognized. It was a fitting recognition of an amazing achievement accomplished over several decades by our faculty. And as if to add an exclamation mark, it was just this past J-term when we had, for the third time, students studying on all seven continents at the same time – including on the Antarctic Peninsula. Last spring, the Princeton Review sponsored a

mission of the institution. So, it’s worth thinking about becoming a university of the first rank in the estimation of the most notable institutions in Division III. This group includes liberal arts colleges like Pomona College, Colorado College, Grinnell College, etc., as well as some major research institutions like Johns Hopkins University, Case Western Reserve University, Tufts University, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Chicago. Division III also includes institutions that look

phosphorus availability in the soil. This project focuses on five putatively cytosolic phosphatases (At2g38740, At2g32150, At3g62040, At5g02230, and At5g59490) belong to haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily. T-DNA insertion screening and western blot assays are performed on transgenic plants with overexpression and RNAi lines for each gene. These transgenic plants will help determine the role played by these genes in maintaining homeostasis levels of phosphate in the cytosol in specific conditions
