The Power of Faculty Mentorship Posted by: bennetrr / January 15, 2020 January 15, 2020 A vital part of Pacific Lutheran University’s academic experience is the opportunity for students to build relationships with faculty members working in the career fields those students want to pursue. Faculty mentorship can help strengthen a student academically, give career-related advice or feedback, be a sounding board for ideas and experiences, assist with networking — and ultimately bridge the

Cassie Paulsen ’21 interns (virtually) with Seattle Children’s Theatre Posted by: bennetrr / August 21, 2020 August 21, 2020 Like many Lutes, PLU senior Cassie Paulsen’s summer hasn’t been exactly what she thought it would be. Cassie has spent her summer in an internship with Seattle Children’s Theater, but instead of moving to Seattle, she is acting, leading classes, and helping the theater any way she can all from home.

courses “use multiple lenses in order to overcome the blindness that comes from insisting upon just one.” While Heath’s class is advertised as a starship design class, the course is actually a multi-disciplinary exploration of the current state of planet Earth and the issues facing humanity.“This is a course about asking big questions and pursuing insightful answers,” Heath writes in the class syllabus. “Although we will be using some scientific methods of inquiry and exploring scientific ideas, this

shooting skits was intimidating to him at first. “I didn’t know if I could do it or not until I sat in my room and opened up my laptop,” he said. “My first two years (at PLU) gave me the confidence that I could do this if I really worked at it. I think, yes, I’ve always wanted to do it, but I hadn’t had the confidence until I had some time in college to just experiment and take the opportunity.” Much like Temple, Gutierrez didn’t have PLU on her radar until she began the process of looking for a

Alumni Feature: Kari Plog ’11 returns to PLU as a Senior Editor Posted by: Todd / February 5, 2016 February 5, 2016 Kari Plog ’11 has been in the ‘real world’ for half a decade, but her life experiences feel like they account for far more then five years worth of work. She’s gone to and reported on the Super Bowl and the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, and was a mainstay at the Tacoma News Tribune since her graduation from PLU. To cap it all off, in June 2015, Plog was named “New Journalist of the

Top Ten Syllabus Suggestions Posted by: bodewedl / August 25, 2015 August 25, 2015 by Dana Bodewes, Instructional Designer A new semester is about to begin and that means it is time to update your course syllabi (or syllabuses, if you prefer).  There isn’t one specific syllabus format endorsed at Pacific Lutheran University, so I have created an outline of topics I would recommend for anyone interested in providing a comprehensive overview of key topics.   Syllabus Topics 1. Purpose and

Unfortunately, prior to the upgrades in the Lagerquist Production room this past winter we could only record two tracks at a time, or a single stereo file. This provided a new challenge for me: the mix I recorded was set in stone. If I failed to balance the instruments properly while recording, there would be no way to fix them later. I’ll admit, I was worried. I’d never been in a situation where I couldn’t go back and fix things in a recording, and this was my first time producing an album at PLU. My First
