and quickly implement them in the workplace has served him well. It has served other PLU graduates well, too. Manso says he is in one of the larger labs at the research center and, by his unofficial count, PLU has a higher representation in his lab than any other university, except perhaps the much larger University of Washington. The large number of Lutes builds a certain camaraderie in the lab – Julie Williams ’09 and Tisha Graham ’09 will also attest to that. In the years he’s been at The Hutch

Munro did her part by streaming and posting videos that led the class through each cooking component while fielding questions and sharing information in the forums. Students also served as a sounding board for one another, conducting peer reviews as each special project was developed, revised and perfected. After seeing the way students responded positively to Chem 103’s course debut, Munro is ready to declare her food

PLU Digs into the Merits of Meat Posted by: Todd / October 1, 2014 October 1, 2014 What goes into the production of a quarter pound burger? According to J.L. Capper in The Journal of Animal Science, 6.7 pounds of feed, 52.8 gallons of drinking water, 74.5 square feet of grazing, and the equivalent amount of energy it takes to run a microwave for 18 minutes. The average American eats approximately 271 pounds of meat a year—or three, quarter pounder burgers a day. Meat is a tasty part of culture

When I first saw Lagerquist Hall, about 10 years ago, it said “Bruckner” to me, as he was a famous organist and composed in very resonant spaces (such as Linz Cathedral and the Abbey at St. Florian– where he is buried).  I am a big Bruckner devotee (few are) and I don’t

She was hired by Seattle Children’s Hospital soon after, followed by a stint at the University of Washington’s Pediatric Care Center. It was there that a frustrating discussion with a young

Academic departments need to have not only the will, but also the money, to recruit, nurture, and retain minority faculty members, many of whom might be reluctant to move to a university that has traditionally been known as a predominately white campus, founded by Norwegian immigrants. This, in turn, creates a challenge in recruiting and retaining students of color…for if you

it will fit into their life after college, said Jessica Holden, SIL graduate assistant and co-planner of the retreat. During the 28-hour retreat, students participated in small group discussions led by faculty, staff and student leaders. The group discussions typically built on ideas presented by a movie or a panel of speakers. One of the panels included Greenaway, recent graduate Jason Schonau-Taylor and ASPLU president Carl Pierce. The three discussed their experiences at PLU that led them to
