July 7, 2008 T-stad: One big, happy family From his perch on the seventh floor of Tingelstad Hall, Adam Whistler can view the expanse of lower campus from PLU’s largest and tallest hall. Whistler, a freshman considering a major in physics, said that while T-stad, as it’s known on campus, wasn’t his first choice, his is very glad that’s where he ended up. What’s not to like? With about 360 residents and nine floors, it’s the largest dorm on campus, both in size and number of students. Whistler

During this event, prospective applicants will be able to learn more about the application process and the bench science PhD programs (Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry and Physics) as

stockpile − namely engineering and applied sciences, physics, materials, and mathematics and computational science. Fellowships include at least two 12-week research residencies at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, or the Nevada National Security Site. Fellows are encouraged to extend these residencies to carry out thesis research and other studies at the DOE NNSA facilities. Renewable up to four years, the fellowship is open to U.S

During her PLUS Year, Jackie was able to attend chemistry classes in person, turn her math minor into a major, and complete a minor in Hispanic Studies. After two summers working in Dr. Dean Waldow’s chemistry lab, where students have been working to synthesize a solid polymer electrolyte for use in lithium-ion batteries, Jackie

nuclear spins are oriented by a magnetic field and then radio frequency waves are emitted that can tell how atoms within a molecule are connected, as well many as other types of information,” said Waldow. On a less technical level, this means that scientists and undergraduate students who will use the machine, will be able to learn about the polymer used to make a wing on a Boeing 787, Waldow added. Pharmaceutical companies use these devices. So can biologists trying to discern what chemicals are in

intellectually intense, the competition is also physically grueling; students usually sleep no more than three hours a night. Despite frequent team runs to Bigfoot Java, Duffy, a third-year computer science major, got sleep paralysis twice in 24 hours. Yet the stress and the fun go hand in hand. Madeline, a second-year physics major, particularly loved waiting for the problems to open and for the timer to go off. “And then it’s just violent brainstorming,” she added. “Every single room has eight whiteboards
