Away from campus, Chris was passionate about photography, woodworking, backpacking, skiing and cooking. He is remembered lovingly by his daughter and PLU staff member Sarah Daggett ‘07 ‘12 and his sons David

that’s virtually nonexistent. After graduation, Hunt moved on to graduate school at Durham University in England, where she earned a master’s of science after blending her PLU degrees—and her life experience—into the emerging field of paleopathology: the study of disease, health, trauma and diet in human biology in ancient societies. “I want to look at evidence of cancer in archaeological remains and add to a dataset that’s virtually nonexistent,” Hunt said. “At that point I wouldn’t have even called

1996, earning a bachelor’s degree in history with a minor in political science. Rebecca graduated with an education degree two years later. She teaches fourth grade in Chelan. After working a technical job at Boeing right out of college, Scott Benson changed course and the pieces started falling into place for his future in the wine business. “We made a very abrupt plan to move down to Willamette Valley,” a region in Oregon known for its wine, Benson said of him and his wife. There he studied

spent learning and applying the science of psychology gave me an informed eye toward effective methods of treating patients. Additionally, I am inspired by PLU’s mission for community leadership and have brought that mission with me to the communities that I am currently a part of and the communities that I plan to serve in the future. Kendra Saathoff ’17: Feminist Student Union was a medium through which I connected with others who identify as feminists. It created a space for the dialogue I

Science Center at Pacific Lutheran University. Belton also wants to build upon the institution’s strengths, such as expanding facilities for all of our programs. He says the facilities need to reflect the quality of the programs, to compete with others in the region. “We need state-of-the-art facilities,” he said, “ to match the quality of our teaching and the caliber of our students.” Belton says he plans to boost PLU’s profile in the region by engaging local leaders and talking more intentionally

survive out of a storage room with some mismatched cross-country skis, moldy tents and battered snow shoes. So two students, Eddie Espinosa ’96 and Matt Wade ’98, set out to save it. “It was just a line in the (Associated Students of Pacific Lutheran University) budget,” Espinosa said. “There was nobody really running it.” Espinosa, an exercise science major with a passion for climbing, vowed to rectify that problem. But, as a senior, he needed someone to partner with who could take the reins on this

resource management for two seasons (with two equally fun ski patrol seasons). I then went to Texas Tech University and earned my masters in Museum Science. After graduating, I became the curator at the Price Tower Arts Center, located in Frank Lloyd Wright’s only built skyscraper. Three years later I had the opportunity to return to the mountains and archaeology as the head registrar at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Salt Lake City. I was there 5 ½ years and enjoyed working with all of the
