I like to say I grew up in the Fun Forest. We dressed up and did “quick draw” portraits. So corny. My grandparents silkscreened sayings on small pieces of wood and called them plaques or desk signs. They sold them for .35 or 3 for a dollar, by the thousands. If you’ve seen a piece of wood with a moose on it and a piece of jute as a tail

for Windows, the Mac, smart phones, and other devices (does anyone remember programming printers?). I will tell you that it takes a long time for a company to build-up the tools and infrastructure to get engineers excited about a new technology. Not so with Amazon Alexa. The software development tools are readily available now for experimenting with Alexa and making a connection in your favorite programming language. (The top four used now are Java, JavaScript, C#, and Python.) Take a look at this

design. She has appreciated the technical skills with Adobe Illustrator that she picked up in this class, as well as the team-and project-focused curriculum. Not only do Art & Design students work on numerous design projects in this class, but they also discuss (and defend) their concepts as they create them with peers and faculty members. Professor Avila took some time to describe the innovation and design principles that students learn in his Graphic Design course. “In design, we take content that

She will also teach marimba to fourth- and fifth-grade girls at a local private school. More than an aspiring doctor, Larios is also an accomplished musician and has been playing

problems of our time.” While there are very concrete ethical concerns to be explored here, which philosophy is well equipped to do, there are also larger metaphysical questions about humans’ place in nature and the human-nonhuman relationship. While our work draws on research in biology, anthropology, psychology and ethology, we bring the systematic and sustained examination that philosophy provides by scrutinizing methods, assumptions and implications. By exploring lifelong questions of meaning

through this process before, he said this was the first time Parkland Light & Water had ever done this. Solar panels on the roof of Paul Tegels’ house. “They were very responsive and very open,” Burkhartzmeyer said. Tegels was eager to invest in the project, and was surprised at the difficulty of carrying out his idea.“I had no idea I needed special permission,” Tegels said. “It was a learning process for me and for Parkland Light & Water.” According to an article in Ruralite, a publication

One of Dr. Schnackenberg’s most frequently expressed wishes was that Pacific Lutheran University might establish a lectureship that would, on a regular basis, bring to the campus distinguished members of the world academic community to discuss significant topics of historical interest. Accordingly, the

learning model you use. How did you start down this particular path as an educator? I started with my physics students, creating lessons online on a learning management site and having them complete assignments within a window of time. This was great, because I knew students could take more ownership of their learning and self-manage their progress. I wanted to be able to give them more personalized feedback. I didn’t want to limit their learning with a deadline or with grades, I wanted them to be able

gain valuable, hands-on experience. PLU nursing professor Lorena Guerrero noted the importance of the event in providing that platform for students.  “Students have been wanting to become more involved in the pandemic,” she said while also volunteering her time at the clinic. “A lot of their clinicals have been affected, in one way or another, by the logistics and the surge in patients that a lot of hospitals have had. Things like this where a student can spend seven hours giving shots and learning

time? When I first showed up I was focused on getting to know the community, designing Campus Ministry programs, etc. Now I’m thinking a lot more about how I’m part of the ecosystem of student life and the university. I’m thinking about how I can embed myself and Campus Ministry in places where people are already gathered. This can be as simple as sharing a reflection at a faculty meeting.
