math students at nearly every level. Miller, who maintains a 3.91 grade point average, can be found in the math lab four nights per week for a couple of hours each night. The lanky Miller pursues running the same way she does mathematics, with equal measure purpose and success. Throughout her cross-country career she has been among PLU’s top runners, and last spring during the track and field season she shattered by nearly 18 seconds the school record in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase

Chambers Bay, in order to work up to my dream career. Joseph Olson – Bachelor of Science in physics, minor in mathematics Joseph Olson ’12 is from Boise, Idaho. Why PLU? I decided to come to PLU because it was the right fit for me. Coming into college, I knew that I wanted to do something in physics or engineering while still continuing music.

a campus-wide scavenger hunt. Students worked on their projects throughout the year to prepare for Tuesday’s competition and showcase their efforts, said Brenda Tisdale, director of Tacoma’s MESA program. MESA is short for Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement. Competitions like the catapult and egg drop required teams of students to build their project from a bag of supplies given at the event, while for other events, like the bridge design, students brought their constructed projects to
