project. “Our pairing up on the project was not an accident,” Dixon says. “My background is in mathematics and Inge’s is in marketing, so we could teach each other a lot. We both worked on everything, but on the data analysis side, when it got really quantitative, I’d show her what I was doing. Whereas, when it came to the marketing side and coming up with the creative ideas, she’d be showing me the ropes.” The MSMA’s focus on real-world experience is perhaps its most unique strength, Dixon says

—including critical thinking, writing, communication, mathematics, and technology—at more advanced levels of aptitude. Through civic engagement, knowledge and insight no longer exist in the life of the mind; they become coalesced in mindful and caring community involvement. By conjoining the academic knowledge and skills necessary to address community needs, students deepen and extend their learning. Additionally, individuals who are active volunteers have 27 percent higher odds of finding a job than

person I am now, a much more confident and self-assured individual compared to who I was in September 2009 as a first-year student. What’s next? I plan on taking the year off to work in a field related to sustainability or geology before attending Colorado State University to attain my master’s degree in watershed science, focusing on alpine hydrology.

a subject-by-subject basis so choose a teacher preparation program with your preferred subject area for teaching in mind.3. Take two standardized tests for educators: WEST-B and WEST-E (or NES).Taking the required standardized tests can be a barrier for many prospective teachers. The WEST-B assesses your basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. The WEST-E (or NES) is a content knowledge assessment designed to test your knowledge in the subject area you plan to teach. While the WEST-B

their university experiences. After initially enrolling at PLU as a mathematics major, Etzell had a change of heart during his first year. “Within a couple of months I realized that I was only good at math — I wasn’t truly passionate about (it),” he said. “But I didn’t figure that out on my own. Professors at PLU, friends and academic advisors really kind of dug deeper with me. … At PLU we really focus on vocation, and so now I’m working more on finding my vocation.” Read Previous A summer

(Photo by Kari Plog/PLU) How to Build a StarshipSpoiler alert: “How to Build a Starship” is a course that’s not really about building a starship. This yearlong course at Pacific Lutheran University engages students in a thought experiment on how to build and live on a starship for a journey to Proximus Centauri — our star’s closest neighbor. The fall section of this course will be taught by Daniel Heath, associate professor of mathematics
