After most of the bones – including a bag of mystery bones –were loaded in the back of Benham’s truck, the skull, all 200 pounds, was loaded into a trailer, and the entire skeleton was moved to the Rieke storage room last week. It will stay in there for the next couple of weeks, and then moved to a walk in freezer at the Columbia Center to kill

these awards are given annually. “Mathematics Magazine is probably the most-read journal of mathematics in the world; it is very difficult to get an article published in there at all,” Heath said. “I was quite pleased just to have them accept the article and suspected at first that the award notification was an April Fool’s Day joke that arrived a couple days late; I had to read it several times before I believed it.” Heath is the second PLU recipient of this prestigious award; Associate Professor

While we have long relationships with our two partner institutions, many PLU students have successfully completed the 3-2 program with engineering degrees at other schools (e.g., University of Washington, Washington State University, University of Hawaii, St. Martin’s University, University of Southern California (USC), Montana State University, Oregon State University).3-2 Engineering at PLUInterested in learning more about PLU’s 3-2 Engineering Program?Option 2 As a
