variables in the equations Fortuner has been exploring. His findings show the amount of expansion and energy in the universe over time, and give insight into what parameters affect the physics of the very early universe. Entering numerical codes into a computer program and running simulations for hours day after day wasn’t glamorous, but it’s been an invaluable experience for Fortuner – a physics major who almost failed his first physics class. “When I took Intro to Physics class, the first college

until the end of the war, said Hewett, who was a teenager at the time of the rescues. Hewett describes her parents as strong and dedicated people who had amazing stories even before the war. André Trocmé was born to a strict Calvinist father and a German Lutheran mother, and became a Protestant minister and dedicated pacifist.

, demonstrates how racial privilege and culture have shaped the environmental movement in our society. After acting for 11 years and backpacking around the world, Finney was motivated by these experiences to go back to school to complete her B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. She has appeared on MSNBC and NPR. Along with public speaking, writing and consulting, she serves as Chair of the Relevancy Committee on the U.S. National Parks Advisory Board. This won’t be her first time at PLU talking about these issues: Finney

Gene Abrams received the Allendoerfer prize for their article “Mad Veterinarians.” Sklar said when she originally got her Ph.D., her area of research was very abstract and not accessible by most undergraduates, let alone lay audiences. “But my passion has always been for popularizing and inspiring enthusiasm for mathematics, so during my time at PLU my scholarship has become increasingly devoted to these goals,” she said. “Mathematics Magazine is the perfect journal for presenting mathematics in an

and Dean of Graduate and Summer Studies in 1975. He was recognized with an Excellence in the Arts award from the university in 1988 for becoming “a champion for the education, support and advocacy of all the art disciplines; the creative processes that reflect most honestly the human spirit.” During his time at PLU, Dick helped make the university’s School of Arts one of the best in the region, working with the chairs of art, music and theater departments, hiring excellent faculty and bringing

for Seattle Humane. “This was the first year that we did it, and it was super fun,” she said. “All I did was walk around and take pictures and videos of dogs. It was pretty great.” Miller joined the Wild Waves marketing team during a time of big changes, and she recently helped announce three major additions coming to the park for 2020. Next year, Wild Waves will unveil a new great-white-themed ride, called Shark Frenzy. Its Wave Pool will churn with bigger waves once a new WaveTek system is

are now able to compare their measurements with results from past classes. What has that revealed over time? Over the years, our research has shown the impacts of water runoff from an increasingly paved watershed, such that rainwater is directed to the stream over impermeable, polluted surfaces rather than infiltrating into the soil. Our number of samples and sample locations is limited due to the constraints of our class timeslot and semester schedule, but even this sparse dataset reveals the

lesson for the day. Just don’t give up on it.” Obviously, this isn’t the type of teaching that we’d signed up for. But we’ve come together as staff in support of one another and our students and received great support from our union. We’re trying to figure out how to help one another. Do you have any advice or encouragement that you might share with students graduating who hoped to begin careers in early ed? It’s always a good time to be in education. You never know what’s going to happen. For the

instilled in her and her siblings a hard work ethic, so she always knew she would go to college. Many of Soliai’s teachers at Clover Park were PLU alums and often talked to her about the school. At the same time, Soliai was growing interested in pursuing a social work degree so she could be a mentor to kids in her hometown. “I heard about their social work program from one of my mentors from elementary school and she talked about the different classes and the different workshops and I knew that was

understanding of individuals and society.What is next, and why is conservation important to you? I grew up going to national parks, going hiking and spending time outside (which is what led me to environmental studies in the first place). I’ve learned a lot more about what conservation can mean in my time at PLU and how complicated the issues can be, but I still think it’s an incredibly important field, especially as the climate crisis worsens. I would be able to use a lot of my education — obviously
