the band’s drummer for the past four years. Horn says he will always think fondly of his experiences with both the band and his director. “It’s been an exceptional journey,” he said, adding that he’s learned a lot from Deacon-Joyner, “musically and in segways to life.” Horn combined his interest in music with his major through his capstone project — an analysis of the subculture of band kids. He’s focusing his analysis on the interaction of band kids and deviance. “There’s a huge range of deviance

more academic disciplines. “Within the culture and fabric of PLU are these interdisciplinary approaches,” Teska said. “It makes us stronger.” A workshop sponsored by the grant on May 27 to 29 examined the state of Clover Creek. Workshop participants will look at data gathered each spring by the “Environmental Methods of Investigation” course, which charts the health of the creek and the community, and determine what’s changed, what needs to be done and how it can be done better. The final activity

natural world, and this grants, including the grants to Pacific Lutheran University, are an important part of that work,” said Dana Miller, senior program director for the Murdock Trust. The grants to PLU will fund two years of student-faculty research looking into the ecology of the Pacific Northwest, as well as species divergence in several Mississippi River tributaries. Each professor will work with four students (two each summer) over the next two years to both collect and analyze data. For

applies her skills of spotting problems and finding solutions. She gives students feedback on how to improve their resumes and problem-solves how to play nicely with the tech-based screening systems businesses use to filter resumes. “I love doing this type of work,” she says. After graduation, Ambachew seeks job opportunities in marketing analysis, project management, and learning experience design, applying what she’s learned from the business and technology worlds. Technology still appeals, she says

a recent email, “My research has almost completely changed since the last time I checked in. My dissertation (as of right now) will examine the politics surrounding the development of Holocaust consciousness in the United States in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. Last semester, I completed a paper about the first conference to focus women’s experiences during the Holocaust which took place in 1983. I learned just how controversial feminist analysis of the Holocaust seemed in the 80s, which was a key

Meanwhile, Pfaff will work with the Since the inception of “Can the Can” in October 2006, nearly half of PLU’s faculty and staff have opted to participate, giving up their personal trash cans in favor of recycling more.

samples need to spin inside the magnet at nearly the speed of sound to get the best data. The spectrometer contains a series of chambers, with the outside chamber forming a vacuum jacket. The outer chamber is then filled with liquid nitrogen, which is at a temperature of minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit. Inside the chamber, a superconducting magnet sits in a broth of liquid helium, which is even colder, at minus 452 degrees Fahrenheit, or just a few degrees above the lowest known temperature in the

the group a bit about field craft, such as map reading and rope work. Swanson said that this year’s summer research really gave him a look into the scientific process and at “least a brief look at what scientists do in the field.” Todd said this is key, since each student on her team developed their own research study on the Rainier Mount Rainier and had to deal with some data that was expected, as well as some result that were unexpected. “It will help them deal with complexity and unknowns, and
