  • repeating: PLU’s IHON program is both international and honors. It’s what students like about it. That is certainly true for Nellie Moran. As someone who hopes to someday work for the U.S. Foreign Service, she is very interested in the cultural and historical contexts that shape the world. “The fact that the program was internationally focused was a huge draw to me,” Moran said. “Taking classes that force me to think more globally is so beneficial for the work I want to do in the future.” Thinking

  • faculty have been a driving force behind change,” she said. Ray Orr is one of them. Orr, associate vice president for facilities management, says accessibility upgrades are a priority at PLU, even when funds are limited. Institutions across the country struggle to comply with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, amid aging buildings and a lack of funds to address all the needs at once. PLU is no different, Orr said. “Everyone’s trying to catch up and do what they can,” he said

  • Muertos) also began to emerge throughout the city bakeries. The spirit of Muertos was one of continuous excitement and flurried activity. The night of October 31st our entire group went to visit some of the local graveyards in the surrounding area of Oaxaca. Although it was pushing 10:00pm by the time we arrived, the town of Xoxocotlán was alive and celebrating in full force. Live music blasted into the stand-still of people trying to access the panteón (graveyard). Vendors selling various warm drinks

  • , there was only one other low-residency program like it in the Northwest. Now there are closer to a dozen—but probably still no other program quite like PLU’s. Rubin and Kitchen built PLU’s Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program from scratch- and now, after directing it since its inception, they are stepping away from leadership roles. And now, PLU Associate Professor of English Rick Barot is stepping in—with excitement, and with gratitude. “Stan and Judith have been an incredible force

  • cases where a study away site is designated as a Level 3 or Level 4 by the U.S. Department of State, the Wang Center will build a risk assessment to be reviewed by the International Travel Risk Assessment and Advisory Task Force (ITRAATF). ITRAATF will make the final determination on whether PLU can responsibly support study away programs in that location. Risk assessments are developed with input from on-site program staff, to identify potential risks and evaluate their level of impact and

  • Biology Focuses on cellular organization and function, enzyme kinetics, membrane structure and function, energetics, signaling, and cell cycle. Laboratory employs modern techniques including animal cell culture, cell fractionation, molecular, genetic, and biochemical assays, and microscopy (light, phase contrast, fluorescence). Prerequisite: BIOL 330 and CHEM 331 with 333, or consent of instructor. (4) BIOL 443 : Plant Development and Genetic Engineering A study of how plant structures form and change

  • represent ordered pores and carbon nanofoams were fabricated to have disordered sponge-like pore geometries. These materials were chosen to be as similar as possible in order to make the best capacitance comparison. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) confirmed ordered pore geometries with 250 ± 50 nm pore diameter for papers and disordered pore geometries with 50-300 nm pores for nanofoams. Electrochemical measurements determined that both carbon nanomaterials have similar electronic conductivities and
