I’m interested in a future working in foreign diplomacy.” He cares a lot about the Pacific Northwest, and wants to work, for a time, locally and regionally. Bolton grew up in Enumclaw, and currently

average family,” it does not always work across all income levels (Baumol points out that in our current system, the bottom fifth of incomes is doing much less well now than in earlier decades). So, institutions like PLU also spend considerable sums to help students with demonstrated financial need afford to come here. In fact, 97 percent of PLU students receive some form of financial aid. PLU also “backfills” that part of the Washington State Need Grant that the Legislature fails to fund. Another

our ultimate goal.  And, in this season of gratitude, we appreciate and celebrate such student activists as The Collective, whose goal is to be advocates for the importance of all voices, all identities, and all people who exist together in this collective space; and Angie Tinker ’16, whose work in challenging gender labels reminds us of what is lost when we neglect members of our community. If all oppression is connected, then so too is our responsibility to end it.  I invite you to join me this

The transition from her graduate studies to her current project work has been quite challenging, but it is a challenge she enjoys. “I think it’s going to be pretty similar when I make the transition from postdoc to faculty,” she said. “But I feel like I was exposed to enough at PLU, at Hopkins, through nursing, all of it, to where I have the skills and background to make my way on any new path

Whether and how students negotiate this process depends on many things: among them

a mold and mother mold to hold the material, and then slush-casting. The primary difference was the casting materials. Plastic is so much simpler to work with than bronze and can be accomplished without the foundry process. Once cast, both materials need to be “chased,” a process of grinding, sanding, and working back imperfections in the casting to achieve the desired surface. Where metal requires a wide range of heavy tools, plastic can be chased with simple files. The other main difference

Nance plans to bring some U.S. premiere concerts to PLU in the near future. Nance is now organizing the premiere of Swedish composer Sven-David Sandström’s St. Matthew Passion at PLU in March 2016, for example, to be conducted by Parkman.
