Wednesday evening to the program. Kerri Greenaway ’08, a social work major, was hired by St. Mark’s to develop and coordinate the program. The Somalis who participated in the program are from the Bantu tribe, former slaves who remained a persecuted minority in Somalia even after emancipation. When civil war erupted in 1991, the Bantu were forced to flee on foot to refugee camps in Kenya. There, the survivors languished for 10 years or more. The United States eventually granted them refugee status, and

student team finished in the top five of the Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling, an international contest where teams of undergrad students have 99 hours straight to create a mathematical model addressing a complex social or scientific issue. The top awards typically go to large technical schools, often in China. But this year, PLU’s team finished in the top 5!Duffy Anderson ’24, Matthew Helmer ’24 and Madeline Rue ’25 were one of 1,057 teams to tackle Problem D, which required teams to analyze the

Gilgamesh or the Bible?” These concepts speak about the human condition. It helped me break through academic walls in finance and economics that I could not have without IHON. What was your study away experience like at Oxford? I think it was the best J-term ever. Admittedly, I spent an average of 10 hours a day in one of the Oxford libraries. My tutor pushed me to understand complex social injustices in our world.Study Economics at PLUAre you interested in learning more about how economics can be

complete their degrees. Academic advisors work to support and strengthen students’ development as they progress through their academic journey. All students enrolled in degree programs have advisors whose responsibility is to guide academic progress. Until students have attained junior standing, they are required to meet with their advisor (and receive a current Registration Access Code) prior to registering for an upcoming term. In their work with individual students, advisors often work closely with

focuses on the detection of botryococcene, a branched triterpene biofuel produced by Botryococcus braunii algae. The unusual branched alkene nature of botryococcene renders it an effective precursor for production of several high octane fuels upon hydrocracking. Thus, there is interest in carrying out metabolic and protein engineering studies to optimize the production of botryococcene. In order to do this it would be useful to develop a screen to monitor production of branched alkenes such as

coach, were the most influential in my development. Dr. Auman taught my Intro BIO 225 course and was very patient with my weekly office hour visits. She helped advise me throughout my time at PLU and during the application process to medical school after graduation. I attribute my development as a scientist to Dr. Nervo. I spent two summers researching in her lab, learning an incredible amount, and having a lot of fun. Specific skills such as reading journal articles and interpreting dense figures

(which counts for IHON 200-level credit) from a list of interdisciplinary topics.Review examples of tutorials students have completed in the past here. Learn more about the Oxford tutorial here. FAQWhat is a tutorial?In the tutorial, students meet individually or sometimes in groups of two with an Oxford scholar, who designs a curriculum based on the student’s academic requirements and interests. Sometimes the syllabus is laid out in advance; sometimes the shape of the tutorial is determined by the
