mountaineering course. That Reidel had never done this before didn’t matter. She wanted to challenge herself. The basic mountaineering class, taught by university fellow and archeologist Don Ryan, familiarized students with knots and carabineers, climbing techniques and how to survive in the wild. He uses these skills while shimmying up and down ropes into Egyptian tombs on his research trips. The half-semester class included an overnight trip nearby into the Cascade Mountains to test skills outside the gym

working on a summer research project with his physics prof, getting a good work-study job, even co-captaining the nationally ranked ultimate Frisbee team. “When else would I have an opportunity like this?” he asks. Studying away wasn’t necessarily Andy’s intent when he arrived from Arvada, Colo., to study math and engineering. But he quickly learned PLU makes it easy for students to immerse themselves in another culture. There is a campus office dedicated solely for that purpose. There are

research, the students traveled across the United States and Canada in search of people with unique stories to tell. In New Orleans, they met a sexual trauma nurse, multiple survivors of Hurricane Katrina, and a nationally renowned expert who wrote the first book about compassion fatigue.

lab experience? Two internship opportunities are available to PLU students interested in cancer research at Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center. How did your internship come to be at Fred Hutch? MM: I spent the summer working at Fred Hutch through a Lab position offered to PLU students funded by the John F. Gilbertson Foundation.

funds supplemental salary for the Mayer Chair, research and travel related to scholarship, enhanced library resources, student-faculty research fellowship opportunities, coordination of the annual Lemkin Student Essay Contest and the Lemkin Lecture (named for Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term “genocide”), as well as the annual Holocaust conference. At first glance, PLU might seem to be an unlikely place to be a center of Holocaust study and scholarship. But really, it embraces the Lutheran

PLU experiences prepared you for this opportunity? Getting involved with my professors has really helped me get to where I am now. I applied for the astronomy research at PLU last year, but didn’t get it. So, I had to ask if I could volunteer and see what they were working on over the summer. They happily invited me to check out what they were doing. Working with them really closely and being able to go in at any time to ask questions has really been helpful.
