In Sanditon, viewers see fruit serving a political significance as well, with pineapples being used in connection with Georgiana’s goal to rally community support for abolition in both seasons of the series.

East side where I graduated from Lincoln High School. My life was shaped by the love of my family, too little money and the social upheaval of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War. I went to work after high school but eventually decided that I wanted to go to college. However, I could not pay very much for tuition so I started taking classes at community colleges. PLU was the first university to offer me a loan, and that became one of the deciding factors in attending PLU. While our paths

What finally made the health of the developing world appear on our radar screen was not some new political movement or mass enlightenment. What happened, very simply, is that some powerful, high-profile people took an interest in these neglected diseases. In the mid-to-late 1990s, Bill Gates, at the time the richest man in the world, his wife Melinda and his father Bill

that decision came from the Department of Computer Science and Computer Engineering, with unanimous support of the Faculty Assembly. I could see movement toward more multi- or inter-disciplinary programs (e.g., “pre-approved” double or triple majors, like Philosophy, Politics & Economics, or dual degree programs like DNP-MBA), which might or might not involve changing our current majors. These kinds of curricular decisions need to be undertaken by the faculty committees and deliberated and voted on

which Andrews has been actively involved. Upon completion of a series of illustrations for this project, Stasinos and Andrews discussed this unique collaboration of art and archeology. Q: Professor Stasinos, tell me a little bit about your art background and how you and Professor Andrews got connected with each other. Stasinos: I graduated from the New York Academy of the Figure of Art. I was interested in the figure and learning about historical and traditional painting techniques. I was there more

We are trying to raise a generation of business people that care, who see the big picture and who are able to be problem solvers at an integrated level. Not just workers who repeat quantitative techniques.”That perspective rings true to business and sociology double major Allisa Ouanesisouk ’21. “My classes had the perfect balance of learning about how businesses are run and how to make the most ethical

and made me realize I have so much to learn,” Hofrenning said. “I can’t overestimate my role in the movement, but I can’t underestimate it either.” Through his involvement in The Collective, Hofrenning has worked closely with Nicole Juliano and Angie Hambrick — assistant director of the Diversity Center and assistant vice president of diversity, justice and sustainability, respectively. Both of them, Hofrenning said, helped him learn the value of navigating within PLU’s political system to build

support to these able and dedicated leaders. PLU is blessed in a special way each year by the work of our remarkable cadre of academic program leaders and deans. This year we will be searching for new deans for the School of Arts and Communication and the School of Education and Movement Studies. During these important transitions, Professor John Hallam from art, along with associate professors Mike Hillis from education and Karen McConnell from movement studies will be serving as acting deans.

Upon deciding to continue to get my bachelors degree, my first interest in PLU began with the movement studies department, as I knew I wanted to pursue a degree in health and wellness. Along with my interest in movement studies, I also considered PLU because of class size and location. Being a single mom of twins, I didn’t want to move too far from where my children and I have already

Katherine Voyles’s essay outlines, this place of questioning is also one of learning. Isolating stills from their context can hide larger narratives in Mary-memes, yet memes can open up new avenues for thought even without context. For example, this @savedbythebellhooks post does just that: "Feminism is not simply a struggle to end male chauvinism or a movement to ensure that women will have equal rights with men; it is a commitment to eradicating the idology of domination that permeates Western culture
