studying organic chemistry in many universities. Fryhle is just finishing up the 11th edition of the book with his coauthor, T.W. Graham Solomons. The most recent edition in print has a picture of a magnolia plant on it, which is the source of a number of interesting organic compounds, such as several that are found to regulate stress responses. As for the next edition? That hasn’t been decided yet. Each of the book’s covers, which Fryhle has been coauthoring since 1998, has a connection to organic

International Organization for Migration, a United Nations advisory agency that promotes international cooperation on migration. Traveling under a Wang Center Research Grant, Jackie worked with agency representatives to locate a dataset on Iraqi migration from a survey about access to basic needs such as water and shelter. “It’s really hard for people to look at a giant dataset and identify the main takeaways,” Lindstrom said. “So I was just excited to be able to serve this organization and hopefully give

mutual and you both must be assigned to the same learning community before we can guarantee a match. During the last week in July, your roommate assignment will be emailed to you (your PLU email!), and we’ll send along your roommate’s PLU email so you can connect with them. From there, we recommend breaking the ice before you both arrive on campus. It will help you establish rapport – the beginning of any good relationship. Texts, phone calls, (and maybe Facetime or Zoom calls?) will give you a

There’s always going to be a curveball—whether that’s budget cuts, new kids coming in, new technology, new curriculum. That’s the world of education. So we learn to land on our feet and run with it.

Professor of Accounting Janet Mobus took a group of students last year to Australia with a focus on sustainability in a country that struggles with water resources. The group visited a sustainable wine vineyard and also resided in an eco-village. “The meshing of business, politics and public policy on sustainable practices, with the student’s desire to be part of the solution was one of the highlights of the trip,” Mobus said. “The students came back to campus with an increased dedication and a great

atomic or molecular level. We study the “stuff” that makes up the universe, but think about it on a very particular, tiny, invisible scale. My specialty is finding new ways to make interesting or important organic compounds – those made of mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms. While many organic compounds are conveniently found in Nature (such as the innumerable caffeine molecules I drink on my way to campus each morning), others must be synthesized in labs – like aspirin or aspartame. What my students

. She joined Ryan’s team as the registrar, in charge of accurately documenting all the objects found in the tombs. “It’s amazing to see firsthand,” she said. “I’m a major history buff, and dealing with the objects is definitely one of my favorite parts. I want to go into conservation, so I can take care of them and learn about them.” Conceived in 1989 by Ryan, the PLU Valley of the Kings Project focuses on exploring and studying the more obscure tombs in the valley. Most were burial sites for

These deferred plans include planning vehicles such as bequests, charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts. “We really wanted to focus on the ‘heritage’ of the school,” Evanson said. “The people I’ve met here have been life-long friends; my time here was a life-changing event. It made sense to make plans to give to the university [through our will].” Ed Larson, executive director of charitable estate planning, thinks back on those days
