TACOMA, WASH. (April 4, 2016)- For the first time in the event’s five-year history, TEDxTacoma will be hosted at Pacific Lutheran University on April 22. For the event’s host, Adam Utley, the new location signifies a homecoming of sorts, as the the improv performer and…
improv is what it does for the human brain. There’s exciting new research about what’s called the Default Mode Network (DMN): it’s the home of creativity, and flow, innovation and breakthrough insight. Improv strengthens the DMN. It activates empathy, self-value, and the synthesis of ideas. Improvisational relationships — where each relationship participant is equal and unique — are healthy, productive, synergistic relationships. And so, businesses thrive when the minds that make them up are improv

TACOMA, WASH. (July 27, 2016)- Amidst crowds of politicians, scientists and international leaders, two Lutes will travel abroad and walk the halls of the annual Conference of Parties for the United Nations in November. They will represent a quarter of a small contingent of college…
Yakelis, chemistry department chair “I think that PLU has a lot of professors who are here because they get excited about the things their students are doing,” she said. “And as a student it’s really empowering to have professors who do get so excited.” Smith came to PLU not intending to major in chemistry. She knew she was interested in environmental science, but thought biology would be her path. After taking organic chemistry, Smith found her passions and talent with chemistry. “Here, the

For some, summer is a time for play. For others, it’s a time for work. But for many at PLU, it’s a time for a little bit of both — through science.
relatively large and important goal.” Building better batteriesDean Waldow “I think it’s really cool that I can go home to my parents and say I am working on improving batteries and that has an actual reaction from them,” chemistry major Katie Gardiner ’18 said. Gardiner is one of the student researchers for Dean Waldow, professor of chemistry. She is working alongside Jacob Finney ’18 to build better, safer batteries. Last summer she conducted research in an organic chemistry lab at PLU, which didn’t
