Though Angela’s path has been less traditional, she’s realized it’s not something to be embarrassed about, but to embrace and celebrate.

April 18, 2008 A banner year for Q Club callers A plucky team of student callers has set another record in dollars raised for PLU through telephone solicitation. The 10 students and three student supervisors, known as TelALutes, spend evenings throughout the year calling thousands of alumni, parents and friends of the university asking for support of Q Club scholarships. The program helps keep constituents connected to campus through personal contact and is remarkably effective in securing

. “We are making a deliberate effort to give the introductory biology courses a more welcoming, personal experience that students expect from a place like PLU,” said Egge. For instance, the two profs break down Bio 126 to smaller groups. Students have the same professor for their lab that they do for lecture. This way, even though multiple profs teach the courses, a given student will only interact with one professor. Egge estimates he sees his students four times a week for a total of about six

South Africa, she studied the transition from apartheid to democracy. And when in China, she performed with PLU’s Wind Ensemble. PLU made it easy for Johnston, a global studies and religion double major, to reach her personal and academic goals. PLU’s Wang Center for Global Education is dedicated solely to that purpose – it helps students find the programs they are interested in, the scholarships that are available, and the center helps them get the appropriate academic credit, too.

when they became co-chairs of the Eastvold Leadership Committee along with Dick and Marcia Moe. Mayer is known to many as the author of his memoir, My Personal Brush with History (2009). One of his fondest hopes was that a German-language edition could be made available in the country he and his family fled those many decades ago, a country he had learned to respect for its eventual willingness to face up to its horrific past. Just two weeks before his death, Mayer was able to hold that edition
