about homework or projects. I never got the impression that a professor made their class difficult just to be difficult. Everything we learned had a purpose. Any challenges? I can’t think of any negative experiences that I’ve had at PLU. I really enjoyed the small class sizes. I’m not just a student ID number, the professors actually know me by name, and we can talk before or after class. Another aspect I really like is the student body. When enrolling in these STEM courses, most of us are science

. What do you think helped prepare you to be able to do that effectively? When I was earning my MPA, I purposely took classes in as many different departments as I could. I took law classes, engineering classes and economics classes. I took a couple of environmental engineering courses. So I purposely did that because I wanted to see how other disciplines were trained and taught. And it served me very well over the years because I’ve been able to translate between attorneys, engineers, and

She took many interesting courses at the CUNY Graduate Center and one at Columbia University (through the interuniversity doctoral consortium program). She says, “a couple of my favorites

English, Schaumberg felt lost. He took some courses at a community college and, as one does, began training to be an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).  Ned Schaumberg, Visiting Assistant Professor of English His reasoning: “I’ll do something as far away from English as I can get. And, that’ll help me think about if I want to go to grad school in English because I like it and I’m good at it, or if I just don’t have anything better to do.” Spoiler alert, Schaumberg is good at English. He also realized

exclusively on this work that I am so passionate about is a dream come true and further solidified my career goal of becoming a full-time scientist. It has also made lab courses look far more digestible than I had previously found them to be. Whether it be in my academic studies or my future career plans, I hope to carry with me the organization, work ethic, and joy for science that I found working at Fred Hutch. Murdoch and their lab mates pose for a polaroid photo. Could you reflect on any networking

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.” Now, Wiley will help PLU students coordinate the courses they need and find internships or volunteer opportunities in Peace Corps sectors, such as education, health or environment. “It will be a way to to dig into the hard questions, like what does it mean to be privileged people from the United States

staff members at the lab and how they got involved in this kind of work and what they’re actually working on. What’s been most challenging? Definitely my lack of experience in what I’m working on right now. Coming into this internship, I’d only taken two computer science courses at PLU. And, unfortunately, they weren’t taught in any of the coding languages that I’m working in right now. I’m so glad I’m getting the experience I am getting, but it’s been difficult trying to learn as I go. My mentor

Prospective graduate students must maintain a 3.0 GPA through their upper-division courses to gain admittance, but they can apply as first-years and plot a course to grad school through their four years on PLU’s campus as undergrads and apply as many as five years after completing

changing the way her students learned by building a program model from scratch. “Nobody’s teaching psych nurse practitioners in their curriculum like we are (at PLU),” Moller said. “Rather than interspersing therapy courses with assessment, diagnosis, and psychopathology, I wanted to approach the curriculum in the same way we do it in practice.” When an ARNP first meets a patient, they have to figure out what’s wrong (complete a thorough psychiatric diagnostic evaluations), then come up with a
