guidance of people like retired senior advisor for academic success Rick Seeger, by getting involved in campus organizations and even working in PLU’s Conferences and Events, PLU became his home. He and his co-workers would organize groups hosted on campus. “We were the ‘go to’ people,” Akuien said. “That was the first time I felt at home. That’s when I felt a sense of belonging.” And this place as home may not end just yet. He’s considering getting his Masters in Education. What he’s learned is that

very, very stressful semester,” Hunt said (in addition to classes, a job and bills, her namesake aunt was losing her own battle with cancer). “I was having a hard time. I thought I had an ulcer.” Hunt visited a local urgent-care clinic, which performed nine hours’ worth of tests—and sent her home with Metamucil. Naturally, it didn’t work—and the next time the pain surged, Hunt visited PLU’s Health Center. “Within five minutes, they told me exactly what I needed to hear,” Hunt recalled. “They saw me

training and marshaling center. Under Eisenhower, Camp Colt ballooned from a minor post of 1000 soldiers to a major tank-training center of just under 11,000 men. The assignment was bittersweet. Although he was not leading troops in battle, his wife Mamie and son Icky were able to join him in Gettysburg where for the first time they enjoyed normal family housing.  Welborn also softened Eisenhower’s disappointment by sponsoring his promotion to Major (temporary) and then on his birthday to Lieutenant

to the academic achievements of the new class, PLU is also welcoming a significant number of student-athletes to campus. This fall, 119 first-year students and 15 transfer students will join PLU’s NCAA Division III teams, bringing talent across Lute athletics. International representation has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels, with over 100 international students enrolled for the first time since 2017. These students hail from 21 different countries, bringing a rich tapestry of global perspectives

specific in the way that I said things, and sometimes I had a hard time doing that because I like talking to people as if they are my friend. Still being able to be professional and feel human was a difficult thing to do at first, but it definitely got a lot easier as I went on with the internship. Learning to trust myself was very helpful. How did you realize you wanted to work with college students in your career? College-age people are very important to society. I came from high school straight to

space was left and I thought, “Do I get a new couch? Do I get something else?” One thing I really needed was what a couch symbolized and that is closeness, or connectivity. I wanted to do that more than just one or two students at a time. So I got this big dining table from people who were moving to Australia, that seats eight, sometimes 12. I’ve got chairs around everywhere. In the upper division design classes where there are smaller classes, we will meet here and do critiques and presentations

@plu.edu. Instructional Recordings When faculty begin to teach online for the first time, they often struggle with moving lecture content online. Some faculty are accustomed to lecturing for several hours each week and it can be hard to imagine delivering your content in other ways. When creating instructional videos, I encourage faculty to consider creating a series of short, high-impact videos. How do you select the best content for instructional recordings? One strategy is to begin by identifying

different perspectives, practice writing and speaking skills, and we gain the ability to work with emerging technologies. The program’s skill set overlaps a lot with what national studies show are the skills that employers are most looking for. The minor also requires that we work in diverse teams with students from other disciplines, which is nice given that most of time we history majors stick to ourselves (or maybe cross-train with others in Social Sciences).
