intrepid class helped seal a spot in history for PLU as the very first U.S. college to have students and professors studying on all seven continents at the same time. PLU has long been a leader in global education, and an important part of that is giving our students multiple opportunities to study in different locations — whether that’s as close as Neah Bay, Washington, or as far away as Antarctica. And students take advantage of these opportunities — over half of all students study away at least once

times, Simmons knew she was academically gifted. “One area where I had control in my life was where I performed academically,” she said. “I put all my energy into performing well.” She fondly recalls a PLU nursing professor giving her a copy of a book titled “Emotional Intelligence,” to help her navigate the soft skills she struggled with due to a lack of cultural capital. Still, Simmons had trouble keeping jobs and internships; in hindsight, she chalks it up to a lifetime of trauma she never

experiences… like going to see the USA Women’s National Team advance to win the World Cup in France and not one, but two, Brexit scares. The pillars of Lutheran Higher Education support a broad and deep experience of learning at PLU. It has allowed me to follow my academic passions across the globe without giving up the extracurricular experiences I love. Undergraduate research is something I’ve been able to experience at PLU that really has shown me the breadth of support that makes these opportunities
