might not know how to do the research to make a trip happen. That’s all on the shoulders of the trip leader.” McCracken and Scheel come up with a list of destinations before each semester and divide them among the trip leaders. A standard trip size is 12 people — 10 students, two trip leaders. “A typical trip is a day hike in the area, probably an hour to two hours away,” Scheel said. “Something that you can just do and get back before dinner time.” A trip leader drums up enough interested students

addition to this work, he will exhibit pieces relating to the figurative skill sets students may experience in his class. “The bulk of my career and development of an artist has been creating figurative works. Even now I take what time I can to draw and learn through working from the model”, Stasinos says. The third segment of Stasinos’ works is collaborative illustrations done for PLU anthropology professor, Bradford Andrews, which include a Market Scene for The Calixtlahuaca Archeological Research

program, my advice is two-fold. First, do your homework. So much of a graduate program is less about that degree/diploma itself and more about the opportunities, who you want to surround yourself with and what you plan on doing after the program.Take into consideration faculty, is it more research-based, applied-based, or a blend, and think about where you will be challenged to grow the most. The other piece of my advice is to make sure that you really want it and that you really love to learn what

Schrecengost ’09 drove to the east coast to conduct research and interviews in Washington, D.C., Toronto, Ottowa and points elsewhere. They were gone for nearly a month. They researched the “grow-ops” of Surrey, B.C., the houses that are used as indoor marijuana farms. They walked East Hastings Street, the spot in Vancouver where those with multiple addictions gather and are marginalized. They participated in a ride-along in Toronto that resulted in a high-speed car chase. Gritty stuff. “We were really

has skyrocketed, with the U.S. using 300 million gallons of the fuel in 2008. That number is expected to double this year, according to statistics from the National Biodiesel Conference in San Francisco last month. Much of Standard Biodiesel’s fuel is not used in fleets (although Standard trucks, of course, use the fuel and the company has a public pump for the locals) but it’s mostly used to run boilers, Clifford said. The company’s next big research push is trying to recover the grease from the

research into PLU. But really it is Sarmast’s story that is so powerful and offers a unique perspective about the people of two countries who may not be as different as they think – Iran and the United States. She was born in Iran, but moved to the United States when she was 9 years old. For many years she worked in the music industry managing and collaborating with worldwide sensations, such as Bon Jovi. But with incidents like, 9/11, the image of her birthplace was painted as purely evil, she said

the back of a humpback on the surface. We make two landings a day on average, including Zodiac tours between icebergs and the one visit to Palmer Station, the smallest of the three U.S. American research stations on the continent. And we are constantly surrounded by rugged mountains stretching nearly straight up from where we can see them starting in the chilly water. There are obviously too many experiences and emotions to rely in words here. It’s going to take a long time for us I think, to

for student-faculty research and student-faculty collaboration,” Tonn said. “We just didn’t have that kind of space before.” It provides for academic programs that require a higher level of technology such as mathematics, computer science and business, which previously had limited technology available to them. The renovation of Xavier Hall did the same thing for social science programs: improved teaching space, collaborative space and improved infrastructure and technology. The building was
