gathered samples and expertly interpreted the amassed data. This research project was part of the Natural Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program (NSSURP). NSSURP allows student researchers to work directly with PLU faculty mentors to experience a learning dimension rarely accessible from the academic-year textbook and laboratory assignments. Research projects reflect the natural sciences fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental studies, geosciences, mathematics, physics

project. “Our pairing up on the project was not an accident,” Dixon says. “My background is in mathematics and Inge’s is in marketing, so we could teach each other a lot. We both worked on everything, but on the data analysis side, when it got really quantitative, I’d show her what I was doing.

Pierce-Ngo assisted in coordinating the Students of Color Retreat and encouraged more peer support. "I’m proud of the work we have done in supporting students, long-term. Data shows that the program works, too. Thanks to the unique one-on-one support model, the students were three times more likely to pursue post-secondary education."- Angela Pierce-Ngo '12 But she found her true

become a teacher.Although she set her career goal early in life, Bowen’s path to a Pacific Lutheran University education degree took a few twists and turns. “Originally, I wanted to be a P.E. (physical education) teacher,” she said. “That evolved into wanting to be both a math and P.E. teacher, after realizing that the number of P.E. positions was very limited.” She next decided to focus on elementary education, then added an endorsement in special education for kindergarten through high school

. “I say ‘yes’ to different possibilities,” she says. “I like trying new things.” That kind of thinking helped her segue from jobs in art education and publishing to public education communications.As senior director for communications, government relations and public engagement for Educational Service District 113, her team provides services such as writing, video production and graphic design for school districts in Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific and Thurston Counties.

some of these new practices that you became active in education communities online and on social media? Yes, this is when I started blogging and sharing on social media about my classroom successes and challenges. It was through this process that I became an advocate for blended learning as an avenue to achieve seamless technology integration, differentiation and personalization in my science class. I also had the opportunity to work as a BetterLesson Blended Master Teacher and have my classroom
