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

the university, as well as experiential learning, like studying abroad or internships or even applied research,” Suzanne Crawford O’Brien, interim dean of interdisciplinary programs, said. “Some students opt for this because they have a dream job in mind — one that doesn’t fit in a more traditional major.” Every year, one to three PLU students graduate with an individualized major that they designed. Lindhartsen says he found the entire process fairly straightforward as his advisors were always on

brings together SOAC’s talented students and faculty to examine a chosen theme through a multi-disciplinary approach. Through music, art, theatre and communication we will come together to explore the theme of Re-forming, as we celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation and honor the core tenets of Lutheran higher education – critical questioning, freedom for expression, foundation in the liberal arts, learning and research within community, intrinsic value of educating the whole person

program to study away. However, research shows a profound impact on a student’s self-efficacy and cultural competence when they work in an international school, she said. “It’s transformative,” she said of the experience. “You’re very much aware of your perspective and other people’s perspective, and you know how to teach to those.” The Republic of Namibia gained independence from South Africa in 1990. While the constitution guarantees free, quality education for all, the education system is only 18

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

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

Canem Prize. Her poetry invites us into a world thick with the lush bounty of summer in the Far North, where the present is never far from the shadow of the past. She teaches at University of Alaska Fairbanks. Nicole Stellon-O’Donnell, Steam Laundry Stellon-O’Donnell found a cache of letters to and from one of the first women to arrive in Fairbanks during the Gold Rush. From these letters grew a novel in verse form, the latest title from Boreal Books. She will speak about her research in the Alaska
