performances. A choral exchange is exactly what it sounds like: at each high school or college we attended, we met the choir, sang a few songs from our program for them, and listened to them sing something for us. After this was Sascha Julian’s cue. Julian is a former member of COW, a recent graduate of PLU and now an admission counselor for the university. Julian got to hang out with us on tour and at each exchange. She quickly set up admission tables (or her “pom-pom” tables, as she dubbed them) near the

. JOB HUNT BUFFERING Ronquillo grew up in Ketchikan, Alaska in a close Filipino family. He grew up playing music and initially thought he would pursue it as a career.

no “animal studies program” in any American university. In fact, the phrase “animal studies” does not even exist except as I am here using it informally.
