Having the opportunity to give back to our community is a wonderful byproduct of ceramics.” The students can take pride in the fact that their work is going

This past Spring, I taught a half-semester Auditions class for 20 students and, thanks to a generous PLUTO Teaching with Technology Grant, I was able to purchase and provide high-quality recording equipment for the class: a 4K video camera with light and microphone, a tripod, a Snowball microphone with wind guard and stand, quality headphones and a

Globalization and the rise of the economies in Southeast Asia hold some of the answer, he said. But not as much as you might think. Much of the change of socio-economic conditions can be traced to the money following those with the highest technical skills, Lindert said in a recent interview

experience that totaled only two years but would serve him for a lifetime. In 1936, at age 16, Marvin Ramstad left the family farm in North Dakota after graduating from high school. He was headed to Pacific Lutheran College where his cousin, Anders Ramstad (for whom Ramstad Hall was later named), was a professor of science, mathematics and religion and dean of men. It was Anders Ramstad’s role as founder of the PLC football program that would change Marvin Ramstad’s life. “Dad spent two years at PLU

The combination of the SMART board, computers station and overhead projector will enable the professor to show how the procedure is done, while students follow along at their own work stations. Although there will be much new about the labs, one thing that won’t change is the student work stations, said Professor Angelia Alexander

We’re continuing to consult with the Tacoma–Pierce County Health Department and other public-health resources, and following their guidance to ensure that our return to campus continues to prioritize safety above all.” “The university’s Pandemic Recovery Planning Team has taken great care to put risk-mitigation strategies in place at PLU that will continue to

But as the university began to grow, both in student population and in recognition, the make-up of the student population began to change. A lot of this has to do with PLU’s history. PLU always had an international focus inasmuch as it was very connected to Norway. By the late ’70s, things were beginning to fundamentally change – PLU was becoming more globally focused. By the early ’80s, according to Phil

Either way, he said Tegels and many other clients don’t just follow through with net metering for the personal benefits. “Most homeowners don’t do it for financial reasons,” Burkhartzmeyer said. “They do it because they feel like they’re helping prevent climate change.” More involvement in sustainable living is on the way for Tegels. He is currently preparing to install a hot water panel, which is designed to minimize

Even for those of us comfortable with technology, the transition to a distance learning approach has been challenging, especially given the quick timeline for the change. I encourage my colleagues to do their best but also to not be too hard on ourselves and our students.
