TACOMA, WASH. (Oct. 27, 2016)- The scene: a cramped room somewhere in a Pacific Lutheran University residence hall at the beginning of the millennium. The characters: five nerdy dudes, each with a handful of dice and plenty of junk food. This is “The Gamers,” a…
subculture of gaming — humor about nerds who are the heroes, not the butt of the jokes. “This is the antithesis of ‘The Big Bang Theory,’” he said. “Showing people who feel real and grounded who you can identify with.” Dobyns said “The Gamers” isn’t the first film about gaming culture, but it treats nerds as people as opposed to stereotypes. “We really work hard to create projects that you don’t have to feel guilty about laughing at,” he said of his production company, Zombie Orpheus Entertainment

When Jordan Levy first visited Honduras in high school, he had no idea that someday he’d be serving as an expert witness on Honduras in the U.S. court system. He first visited the Central American nation to perform volunteer work, and then returned annually throughout…
on justice, I’m fortunate to be at PLU, an institution with a strong commitment to social justice,” Levy says. “Other institutions wouldn’t support expert witness work for faculty. But PLU does.” At PLU, Levy teaches anthropology courses that explore how Latin America studies inform anthropological theory, the impact of free trade policies; the state from an ethnographic perspective; and how international migrants build lives in more than one nation-state. Many of his students go on into migrant

Taylor Lunde Do you think you can solve what might be the world’s most difficult puzzle? The scramble square puzzles consist of only 9 pieces. Each puzzle piece has half of an image displayed on each side. The goal is to arrange the 9 pieces into a 3×3 grid where each image aligns with the other half to create a complete image. We will learn how to find solutions to restricted 2×2 scramble square puzzles using graph theory and introduce a strategy for solving the 3×3 puzzles. 10:30am – Exploring

willing to work with individuals and find a way to make it work,” said Daley, who earned his certification in 2016 and now teaches special education students at Mount Tahoma. He also works as an assistant football coach at PLU. Turning up for Saturday morning classes after a Friday night football game was challenging, Daley said. “It was chaos,” he said. “But I thrive in that kind of situation.” Ricky Daley FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE Jasmine Skipworth ’17 brims with confidence as she enters her second
