wanted to go to Oxford, and the Socratic seminar method and blended nature of the IHON classes made me interested. What’s your fondest memory as an IHON student? Dr. Wilkin taught a class on friendship that was super fun, even when I didn’t always agree with some of the course material. One of the final projects was completing an ethnography, which was super unfamiliar and new to me. I chose to explore how asexual and aromantic people experience friendships or romantic relationships, as people have

about homework or projects. I never got the impression that a professor made their class difficult just to be difficult. Everything we learned had a purpose. Any challenges? I can’t think of any negative experiences that I’ve had at PLU. I really enjoyed the small class sizes. I’m not just a student ID number, the professors actually know me by name, and we can talk before or after class. Another aspect I really like is the student body. When enrolling in these STEM courses, most of us are science

projects focused in the areas of mental health, opioid addiction treatment, care of rural/underserved populations and telehealth. Telehealth allows patients in remote areas to “visit” a healthcare provider without traveling long distances. But it also offers convenience for patients in all kinds of communities. /* fix for jQuery UI library issues when using the date picker popup */ jQuery.browser = {}; (function () { jQuery.browser.msie = false; jQuery.browser.version = 0; if(navigator.userAgent.match

to a generous $2 million lead gift from an anonymous PLU alum and a $1.25 million investment from Pierce County, progress is well underway. But significant partnership is yet needed to accomplish the planned remaining improvements. They include, in 2023, conversion of a lecture hall into three classrooms, an additional exam room and an improved student-faculty research lab. Plans call for renovation and upgrades to the Open Lab in 2024. If you would like to learn more about these projects and how

gathered samples and expertly interpreted the amassed data. This research project was part of the Natural Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program (NSSURP). NSSURP allows student researchers to work directly with PLU faculty mentors to experience a learning dimension rarely accessible from the academic-year textbook and laboratory assignments.
