  • analyzing samples with the NMR: Yakelis’s Organic Special Projects students and Waldow’s Instrumental Analysis students will be among the first students to use it. The machine works by an electronic arm plucking out a sample from a rotating tray and slowly lowering it into a tube, which then goes down on a column of air into the bowels of the machine and into a center of a powerful magnet that is 200,000 times as strong as the Earth’s magnetic field. As the machine analyzes the sample, information

  • events are introduced. Deane said she is very excited about the Left Foot Organics trip, which was added to the service category this year. “Left Foot Organics is a farm in Tenino that employs people with special needs to harvest organic food,” she said. “This year we have a group of students volunteering to help out and I am very excited to participate in this trip.” Deane said that it is trips like this one that embody the PLU mission, which helps introduce students to what the values are at PLU

  • flooded by overflowing sinks in the organic chemistry laboratory above. A locker room in Memorial Gymnasium was converted to house research involving radiation, including Duane Swank’s X-ray crystallography equipment. In 1973 the Commission on Academic Excellence reiterated to President Wiegman the need for a new facility; a building committee arrived at a need for doubling the then-current space to 116,000 square feet. By then three different chemistry B.S. degree tracks were available, one leading

The Impact of Urbanization on Streamflow in the Puget Lowland Region Corina Jones This study is about the effect of urbanization on streamflow, specifically in the Pacific Northwest, and how different degrees of urbanization produces different flow rates. This was a synthesis project, finding gauge data about the basins and analyzing it. Two basins were chosen from King County and one from Snohomish County based on their percent impervious surface and other characteristics such as size

  • Physics 12 additional semester hours Completion of an additional 12 semester hours of electives in science and mathematics from the following courses: MATH 331, 356 PHYS 221, 331, 336 ENGR 240, 333, 334, 355 CHEM 341 may be substituted for ENGR 333 The particular courses chosen will depend on the intended subdiscipline and the engineering school’s entrance requirements. Students should consult with the program director before choosing their electives. Major in Chemistry Completion of organic chemistry

  • PLU’s dedication. The Morken Center attained gold-level certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, and the bookstore incorporated similar green building practices. Across campus, the effort continues: residence halls are equipped with low-flow toilets; Dining Services is bringing more organic and locally-produced food to campus; and human resources offers a transit pass benefit to encourage commuting by mass transit, carpools or walking. Currently, the Sustainability Committee is looking at

  • wages paid. The entire process is transparent and verifiable, Giguere said. Not all items in the store are certified fair trade, yet many are still considered to be fair trade goods. Characterized by Valdez as a “homegrown, organic” process, it involves PLU students, faculty or staff visiting a site, seeing how items are made and disclosing the information. The store is currently working with the Wang Center for International Programs to create import avenues for PLU, Valdez said. Students studying
