I have a lot of friends from my PLU days and those are the active friendships in my life that go back the furthest. I went through the geology program at PLU and have stayed in contact with the faculty throughout my career. I knew I wanted to become a paleontologist by the time I arrived on campus. I’ve always been interested in a lot of different things, and I was

When Jordan Levy first visited Honduras in high school, he had no idea that someday he’d be serving as an expert witness on Honduras in the U.S. court system. He first visited the Central American nation to perform volunteer work, and then returned annually throughout…
from numerous disciplines such as geology, biology, art, and psychology.PLU Support At some institutions, publishing in journals is the only critical component of faculty work. But PLU also recognizes expert witness testimony as another form of applied scholarship, or using anthropological research to solve practical, real-world problems. As another example, some of Levy’s colleagues in archaeology have been consulted by the National Park Service. “As an engaged anthropologist who takes a position

While many of their classmates braved a chilly winter back in Parkland, three Lutes sat on a beach in Hawaii watching whales. No, it wasn’t vacation. It was research.
studies minor, said she decided to participate in the internship to gain research experience. She loved being with the whales every day and hopes to work with animals in the future. “I enjoy learning about animals and marine life, specifically,” she said. “I also like learning about the environment and how pollution affects ecosystems.” Haglund, also a biology major, applied for the internship because it focused on environmental biology. A different kind of whale watchingStudents used binoculars to

range of scientific realms, including physics, chemistry, biology, climate science, and geology. By examining the ocean from these diverse perspectives, students gain a comprehensive understanding of its complexities and significance. ESCI 102 allows PLU students to get their hands wet (literally!) with labs and field trips. These hands-on experiences reinforce theoretical concepts and foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world. One of the highlights of ESCI 102 is the field trip to the

. Participating students will interact closely with faculty and graduate student mentors to develop and advance research projects revolving around oceanographic data analysis. Students will attend overview lectures on fundamental problems in different oceanography fields, including physical, biological, and chemical oceanography as well as marine geology and geophysics. They will gain a basic understanding and hands-on experience in data science techniques, including time series analysis and machine learning
