New Honor Society Enters LutedomeEvery year, nine thousand students worldwide join Sigma Tau Delta, an English Honor Society founded in 1924. This international group of readers and writers engages in formal and informal discussions about literature, fosters literacy education through outreach programming, and celebrates the impact of words on culture and experience. In the 2014-2015 academic year, Sigma Tau Delta made its way to PLU. PLU students and faculty have joined a conversation that

Capstone Seminar There is a discrepancy in the literature whether porous carbon electrodes store more electrochemical capacitance with a disordered or an ordered pore design. However, these materials have not been made comparably, so their capacitances cannot be fairly compared. We hypothesize that if we control the physical and electrochemical properties of disordered and ordered porous carbon electrodes, then the electrodes should have comparable amounts of capacitance regardless of pure geometry.
