confirm fluorenone’s effectiveness as a catalyst by replicating literature procedures for these reactions using both tested and untested diene and dienophile reactants. Steven Chu, Avigail Salazar-MartinezChemistryUtilizing a Diels-Alder reaction to synthesize a zwitterion monomer for an ion-conducting polymer Faculty mentors: Dean Waldow & Neal Yakelis, Chemistry The efficient synthesis of endo norbornene-2,3-dicarboximide (NDI) zwitterions using a Diels- Alder reaction could potentially be used to

presenting the fundamentals of polymer synthesis, solution thermodynamic properties, molecular characterization, molecular weight distribution, and solution kinetics. Free radical, condensation, ionic, and biopolymer systems, with emphasis on applications. Prerequisite or corequisite: CHEM 341. (3) CHEM 487 : Special Topics in Chemistry To provide undergraduate students with new, one-time, and developing courses not yet available in the regular curriculum. The title will be listed on the student term

possible. Last summer I was part of the Natural Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program where I got to develop solid polymer electrolytes with chemistry professor Dr. Waldow. I was able to foster this connection with a faculty member and other student researchers as well as travel to present my research at a conference thanks to generous donor support of our Natural Sciences Department at PLU. This summer I was so lucky to participate in an internship at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School

optical measurements and TEM. PV device design and fabrication were explored for novel bilayer and bulk heterojunction (BHJ) designs containing FeS2. Photoinduced absorption spectroscopy was conducted to screen for charge-transfer in BHJ blends and bi-layer films. We successfully synthesized FeS2 nanocrystals, while photoinduced absorption spectroscopy showed no charge-transfer in the BHJ films. Complete bi-layer PV devices were tested using copper (I) sulfide and zinc oxide nanocrystals, but showed

: The concept of “unsettling empathy” allows for the inclusion of both a critical perspective on power asymmetries as well as compassion with the Other in light of historical trauma. It describes a posture that blends the critical/political with the affective/interpersonal dimension of reconciliation and memory work. Examples from Krondorfer’s intercultural conflict work will illustrate this concept. Introduced by Dr. Seth Dowland, Assistant Prof. of Religion 7:30 p.m., Karen Hille Phillips

program that blends all the international elements with domestic U.S. programs to get students engaged with people from immigrant groups or other cultures that might be different from their own Take for another example faculty-student collaborative research and creative projects: at the moment, we don’t have a good clear picture of how many of our students are engaged such collaboration. At best, I would say, we are able to offer such an opportunity to almost any student who expresses interest, but

, prevention and intervention protocols and programs to address violence exposure, traumatic stress, anxiety and substance abuse. Dr. Suarez blends research and practice in academic, clinic and community settings. She develops and evaluates research and clinical programs for youth impacted by trauma and adversity, tailoring treatment approaches to families of diverse ethnic, racial and socio-economic backgrounds experiencing community violence, substance abuse problems. She is the project director of the

the details. The year-old coffee shop features three blends and four brew methods, spotlighting a new local or regional roaster each month. Everything in the business model is precise. Lauren (Buchholz) Reese ’09 said she and her co-owners measure water and coffee beans down to one-tenth of a gram. They even tested a variety of lid types before picking the perfect one. “There aren’t very many,” Reese said, noting that they landed on one that offers more “nose room” and mirrors the experience of

, professor of chemistry, received another in a long series of Natural Sciences Foundation grants–this one for $98,000 for his research in polymer chemistry. Archaeologist Don Ryan, a PLU alumnus and a faculty fellow in humanities, published “Beneath the Sands of Egypt” to critical and popular acclaim. These are just a few examples of faculty scholarship, to which one can add the dozens of performances by our music faculty, creative works by our faculty in art and theater, as well as the contemporary
