He has held many roles in the School of Education and

, Religion and Literature of the Hebrew Bible. In this class, Finitsis asked his students to tell Hebrew Bible stories in whatever way they could. What he saw was “too good for no one else to see.” With that, “Hebrew Idol” was born. As part of the class, the student videos are subject to a vote, with top selections advancing to an awards show. The show includes viewings of the top selections, guest judges portraying Hebrew Bible characters, awards, hall-of-fame inductions and musical performances. It is

The J-Term structure allowed Maryn to get off campus and still be involved with other programs and groups at PLU like the Wind Ensemble and peer tutoring. “It all comes down to curiosity,” she said. “Do you want to see what’s out there?” Johnston certainly had the curiosity for many things – and it wasn’t limited to one discipline or another. She studied multilateral diplomacy and French in Geneva; environmental literature in Argentina and Antarctica. When she was in

Tonn said that donors have the satisfaction of immediately seeing positive outcomes for students when they help fund academic facilities. “Donors who want to make a big difference in the lives of students can of course fund endowments for student

Although there is still a lot of work involved, he said there is a different atmosphere surrounding an entirely student-led show.

She maintains connections with communities there. “One thing I learned in the Peace Corps was that relationship building and spending time with people was something I was really passionate about,” Wiley said. “And to some extent that is what cultural anthropologists do, we study contemporary human life.” Zylstra stressed that the
