really small things, like molecular work, or virology, or microbiology, they can take classes on that. If they want to go bigger with the systems, in terms of ecology and organisms, they can do that too, and everything in between. I found it really amazing that students were able to create their own focus in that way. I also had a really good experience talking with students. I had lunch with three students during my interview here, and all of them were double majoring. At my undergrad institution

responsibility, and strengthen communities” (National Commission on Service Learning, 2002). Ex. Ecology students design a native, low-maintenance, sustainable landscape area for a local low-income housing development. Community-Based Learning: includes community-based, reflective learning experiences where students engage the community, but do not participate in “service”. Ex. Writing 101 students write reflective essays on the importance of “place” after riding buses, visiting grocery stores and

summer of 2007 in the weeks before you leave for a semester in Tanzania. While it’s someone else’s turn to walk, you will lie on your back in the grass and look at the sunlight coming through the leaves. You will wonder what kind of trees they are and who lives there. You’ll be a little disappointed that you didn’t study more ecology. This is Red Square. It’s actually called Centennial Square, but probably fewer than a quarter of PLU students know its “real” name. Listen carefully; if you throw a

front of me, it’s almost immediate all the time.” And that feeling was precisely what Larsen was after when he made a midlife career change more than a decade ago.Larsen, who studied evolution and avian ecology at The Evergreen State College, worked as a biologist for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. As he rose through the ranks, his tasks became more and more sequestered. “The idea of working for the sake of working has never been appealing to me,” Larsen said. “I came to a realization

risks, benefits, ethical concerns, and food security issues.IHON 259: Starship DesignIn this course, we will explore ecology by designing a hypothetical starship to bring humans to another star, probably Proxima Centauri, our nearest interstellar neighbor. This class will culminate with an actual starship design. Importantly, this is a course about asking big questions and pursuing insightful answers. Although we will be using some scientific methods of inquiry and exploring scientific ideas, this

in Bø, Norway. Roughly 90 miles southwest from Oslo, Kristi Floyd ’19 dealt with similar challenges. The PLU tennis player left her racket at home before traveling to the Bø, Telemark, campus of University College of Southeast Norway. She figured the weather wouldn’t be ideal for tennis during her fall semester away studying alpine ecology (she was right). “I’m worried about not playing for a really long time, but I’m managing to stay in shape,” she said midway through the semester. “I’ll just

construction of the facility from the Puyallup Tribe. Through the use of Ecology and Indigenous Studies, I explore the potential impacts of this facility on climate change, how climate change will subsequently affect the local salmon populations, and how the Puyallup Tribe will be impacted as a result.I would like to thank my capstone professors Adela Ramos and Dr. Rose McKenney, as well as my mentor, Professor Suzanne Crawford-O’Brien, for all of their support and guidance in the development of this

GEOS 107. My studies were split into two primary sections. For the first part, I worked with a tutor from the Oxford ecology department, where I focused on climate change indicators, attributions, and spent a good amount of time on biodiversity impacts and conservation policy. I culminated these weeks with a research project on Pacific Northwest salmon conservation laws and policy history. For the second section, I had the opportunity to work with a member of UKCIP, an organization that develops
