studies and adds a permanent mathematical modeling course that challenges students to use mathematic tools to solve real-world problems.  “It is really awesome to pair with other science majors to give more math background to support those concepts,” said N. Justice, assistant professor of mathematics. “Such double majors will be set apart and stronger in the job market.” Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the applied mathematics major pairs well with other natural sciences majors such as computer

, Wold’s longtime friend and college roommate. “It’s a gift.” Currently, Wold is part of NASA’s research division and works with the Federal Aviation Administration to facilitate the movement of planes through the airspace system. Following the Challenger and Columbia disasters, there was a spike in security measures at NASA, and particularly in Wold’s division. As a result, Wold has been much more involved with the research side of NASA and keeping track of expenditures of government money for various

Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. It was a risk, he said, but worth it. “I mention that because each of you are going to be faced with those opportunities,” Dahl told the students. The world needs those who take risks, he said. And knowing what risks are worth taking is

who maybe could catch just the back of Michelle Obama’s head as she exited, surrounded by her security detail. But it didn’t happen that way. An event organizer ushered Moran into the receiving line. “I expected a handshake, and that’s it. But she gave me a great big hug,” Moran laughs. “I was overwhelmed.” And finally, a third surprise, expressed by all the interns in this story: Internships really matter, not only to the organizations they work for, but as building blocks for future careers

new 1,100-square-foot lab is thanks to a $100,000 plus donation from Carol Sheffels Quigg, Jerry Sheffels and the Sheffels family as part of the Rieke Science Center restoration.   The lab will be largely used by first-year biology students, said Associate Professor Matt Smith, Biology Department Chair. Approximately 200 students will be using the lab each year, Smith estimated. The technology-rich lab will come with six portable computer stations and a SMART board. Before the renovations this

Summer Undergraduate Research in Particle Physics Posted by: alemanem / November 29, 2023 November 29, 2023 As part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion, U.S. CMS is excited to announce the next edition of the RENEW-HEP USCMS SPRINT/ USCMS PURSUE combined undergraduate internship program. The internship program is intended to address the under-representation of women and minority students in STEM fields and is open to students pursuing physics, engineering, computer science, mathematics

about the historical significance, what they told their daughters, or texted their moms. I’ll write about how untenable Republican-party gains are if the xenophobia label sticks to them. Nobody on my team has suggestions on covering a Donald Trump win. I don’t know what to write. The needle dips again; 52 percent in favor of Clinton. I leave thinking about the feeling of uncertainty, trapped in the traffic of the present moment. Our role for the night is to enter local returns into the computer

that provide for program sustainability. For example, in recent years, we’ve added programs mostly in areas where we have current strength (MSF, MSMR, DNP). But, PLU has also created a new program and hired an entire department to run it (MA in Marriage and Family Therapy back in the ‘70s); and we adopted a program from outside the university (MFA in Creative Writing). Both of those have been very successful. The only program discontinued in recent years is the major in Computer Engineering, and
