Over the course of her employment with the City of Tacoma, Woods has facilitated many such meetings, workshops, conversations, and trainings.

. Grahe’s legacy; however, he feels particularly proud of one aspect of his career. “I think it is the vibrant network of research that I created with zero operating budget in the case of CREP, and two tiny grants in the case of the EAMMi2,” he said. “Both of these projects offer much potential for current and future students and faculty, not only at PLU, but also for students and faculty across the world.” Dr. Chartier agrees, but also appreciates the support Dr. Grahe offers to his students and
