of Community Development, Culture and Gender Affairs saw a stream of Trinidad and Tobago students come to Washington state for four years of study at the university. There, they formed relationships with their American counterparts that remain strong today — several traveled to reconnect with the visiting alumni group during their stay on the islands. “The joy of my life,” Kareen ’09 Ottley said of her studies in the States. “We made many memories throughout my period there with PLU.” (Photo by

use my title once I graduated because it was so important to her.” The next step in Ceynar’s research will include partnering with female professors in the natural sciences to study how student expectations of professors vary by discipline and gender. This is a growing research field, with more studies on the extra burdens students place on faculty of color, as well. One way Ceynar hopes to help change the way students treat their female professors is by sharing these findings with them

from school working in another field. “If you’ve been out of college for a few years, jumping back into the grind isn’t easy,” Jones said. To help his peers navigate the challenges of their unconventional college experience, Jones also draws from his military background — especially his short stint at the prison. It spurred a deeper understanding of larger narratives of history, one half of his double major. Passion crosses his face when he talks about his studies. His face lights up and he leans

, “what does it mean to be human?” Because such a broad question invites innumerable responses, we will focus in particular on two phenomena that shape humanity: religion and violence. Like all IHON 257 course offerings, this course will introduce you to several academic disciplines in the humanities. In particular, we will use the insights and methodologies of theology, cultural studies, religious studies, and history to examine the intersection of religion and violence. The course has two broad

Step 3This is a critical component of the application. Informed consent is necessary for all research studies (even exempt research). The goal of informed consent is to make sure research participants are treated with dignity and respect and they understand: what they will be asked to do any risks and/or benefits involved they can choose not to answer any questions they always have the right to decline or withdraw from any study without consequence how their data will be used and protected You

Scholarship Award, Rachid was a highly accomplished mathematician interested in the fields of delay differential equations, mathematical biology, dynamical systems, and bifurcation theory. Citing his textbook about differential equations (in French) and his vast number of published papers in well-respected journals, his colleagues in mathematics describe him as one of the most active scholars in the department. He earned a doctoral degree, diploma of in-depth studies, and a master’s degree in mathematics

degrees: one in Anthropology and one in Classical Studies. Katie was a pleasure to have as a student and more than a little inspirational. Hands down, she remains the best artifact illustrator I have mentored since arriving at PLU. Professor Bradford Andrews was Hunt’s anthropology advisor; she credits him—and Ryan—with significantly influencing her career. She still admires them both, and admiration runs two ways, you know. “Katie was a pleasure to have as a student and more than a little

studies in our lab have demonstrated that in response to a drug-induced growth arrest, frequencies of AM differ between Saccharomyces cerevisiae with distinct genetic backgrounds. In addition to arresting growth, the drug we used eventually kills the cells. This study investigates the survival of non-resistant yeast cells with varying genetic backgrounds when exposed to drug-containing media, thus ensuring that the varying lines of yeast cells have the same window of opportunity to generate an AM
