International Honors at PLU Kyle Schroeder lives in the International Honors wing of Hong International Hall. He says that IHON challenges him to think in a different manner. Four first-year students discuss PLU’s honors program By Steve Hansen Ask four first-year students from different backgrounds…
repeating: PLU’s IHON program is both international and honors. It’s what students like about it. That is certainly true for Nellie Moran. As someone who hopes to someday work for the U.S. Foreign Service, she is very interested in the cultural and historical contexts that shape the world. “The fact that the program was internationally focused was a huge draw to me,” Moran said. “Taking classes that force me to think more globally is so beneficial for the work I want to do in the future.” Thinking

TACOMA, WASH. (Sept. 19, 2017)- Noelle Green ’18 says equal access to education means equal access to facilities across campus. Leaders at Pacific Lutheran University agree. The institution recently invested more than $630,000 to improve accessibility for students such as Green, who was diagnosed with…
faculty have been a driving force behind change,” she said. Ray Orr is one of them. Orr, associate vice president for facilities management, says accessibility upgrades are a priority at PLU, even when funds are limited. Institutions across the country struggle to comply with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, amid aging buildings and a lack of funds to address all the needs at once. PLU is no different, Orr said. “Everyone’s trying to catch up and do what they can,” he said

Study away students must follow PLU’s vaccine requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated for COVID-19 and receive all recommended booster(s), when eligible, at least 2 weeks
cases where a study away site is designated as a Level 3 or Level 4 by the U.S. Department of State, the Wang Center will build a risk assessment to be reviewed by the International Travel Risk Assessment and Advisory Task Force (ITRAATF). ITRAATF will make the final determination on whether PLU can responsibly support study away programs in that location. Risk assessments are developed with input from on-site program staff, to identify potential risks and evaluate their level of impact and

represent ordered pores and carbon nanofoams were fabricated to have disordered sponge-like pore geometries. These materials were chosen to be as similar as possible in order to make the best capacitance comparison. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) confirmed ordered pore geometries with 250 ± 50 nm pore diameter for papers and disordered pore geometries with 50-300 nm pores for nanofoams. Electrochemical measurements determined that both carbon nanomaterials have similar electronic conductivities and
