building and their seeing what happens when you make an effort and care about being stewards of hope. “One student started the year telling me ‘I don’t like school, I don’t like anything here,'” Hasse said. “And now she’s telling me how much she likes science.” “It’s working toward making a community connection,” Castor said. “We’re here for four years – how can I reach out? What’s my impact going to be? We’re really getting out there and starting to live that.” Club Keithley is about making that

the development of the new Master of Science in Finance program. He points to the considerable time both he and Brown spent in the business world. They both stress pragmatism. It informs the way they teach, and it underscores the value they place in putting students in situations that focus on real-world business and finance issues. “As much as we can simulate reality, then our students will have an edge,” Boeh said. “So the question is: What can we do to simulate reality?” “One of the lessons

the Schnackenberg Lecture Dr. Walter C. Schnackenberg (1917-73) graduated from Pacific Lutheran College in 1937 and taught at PLU from 1942 until 1944. He returned to Pacific Lutheran University in 1952 as Associate Professor of History and Political Science and became Professor of History in 1958. He was chairman of the Department of History from 1963 until 1973 and served as faculty representative to the Board of Regents during the 1972-73 academic year.

was doing. I was in the IHON (international honors) program, and that had a big impact. Eventually, I came around to double majoring in political science and global studies, plus a minor in Hispanic studies. I really connected with global studies at PLU. I had a great IHON experience and I was in the Wang Center a lot. The study away program was one of the main things that drew me to PLU. I studied abroad in Oaxaca, Mexico and completed an internship at a rural development organization that was

me about ways people perceive and interact with the environment and asked me to critically consider negative social externalities that arise from pollution and other concerns. I really enjoyed these classes but wanted the opportunity to take more math and science courses and ended up shifting the environmental studies degree to a minor and adding a chemistry major. The Hispanic Studies degree was really inspired by my high school Spanish teacher. I took AP Spanish 4 and 5 in high school and loved

instructors from around campus and our community–into their understanding of what this watershed means in a really broad sense. How is this course shaping our students? This course exemplifies a very PLU approach to learning: it’s applied, it’s engaged with the community, it’s taking a holistic perspective, and it’s truly interdisciplinary. It’s not only environmental science but environmental studies—which means that it includes that broader picture, bringing the liberal arts into conversation with that

insightful answers,” Heath writes in the class syllabus. “Although we will be using some scientific methods of inquiry and exploring scientific ideas, this is not a science course. As we work to design our starship, we will find that many of the lessons we learn can be directly applied on Earth.” "(The goal is) to get students to really see some of the harm that our society is doing so that they can’t really ignore it and live the same way they have been."- Professor Daniel Heath In the first few weeks

exclusively on this work that I am so passionate about is a dream come true and further solidified my career goal of becoming a full-time scientist. It has also made lab courses look far more digestible than I had previously found them to be. Whether it be in my academic studies or my future career plans, I hope to carry with me the organization, work ethic, and joy for science that I found working at Fred Hutch.
