gathered samples and expertly interpreted the amassed data. This research project was part of the Natural Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program (NSSURP). NSSURP allows student researchers to work directly with PLU faculty mentors to experience a learning dimension rarely accessible from the academic-year textbook and laboratory assignments. Research projects reflect the natural sciences fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental studies, geosciences, mathematics, physics

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.

interest in advanced training in Economics, we steer them toward acquiring the mathematics they will need to be successful in a graduate economics program,” adds Peterson. “For those interested in law school, we encourage our students to work closely with the pre-law advisor and to take a wide variety of applied courses in economics, philosophy, history, and politics. The wide exposure to theory and application in our courses is excellent preparation for the kinds of analyses they will be expected to

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

students that have a lot of potential and a lot of desire and interest to do well in college, but are facing obstacles that might prevent them from doing as well at PLU as they could,” said Assistant Professor of Mathematics Ksenija Simic-Muller, who taught a Summer Academy course. “What summer academy tries to do is address (those obstacles) early on by providing more support to these students.” Assistant Professor of Sociology Galen Ciscell, another Summer Academy instructor, strongly endorses the

—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
