Erin McKenna, also a Philosophy professor, reflects on how collaboration with her students inform her writing, making scholarship and teaching “fluid aspects of one process.” For the Good of the World In 2003, Dean Barbara Temple Thurston emphasized that all the work we do in humanities is committed to “that project at the heart of liberal learning: the humanization of life on this earth.” She continued: Through wise and careful teaching

that includes our history, traditions, rituals and common memory. How can we understand what is happening now in terms of what has gone before? What is that common memory, that which connects our past with our present and future? For PLU it might mean understanding the ties that bind: academic freedom, respect for the basic humanity of all persons, care for the earth, being a part of a community and called to vocations in the world.12 While many of these ideas can be seen as arising from the

Yonce ’12 is from Kent, Wash However, if I had been a more reasonable and mature 18-year-old, I might have chosen PLU for its beautiful campus, close-knit community, small class sizes, commitment to sustainability, emphasis on discovering a vocation, Sunday brunch (call me crazy, but I really liked the UC food!), or – best of all – it’s knowledgeable, caring, and down to earth professors.

Environmental Research Cobaloximes have been studied for decades as model compounds for vitamin B12. More recently, the chemical behavior of cobaloximes in general has been the subject of focus. The chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime is very stable and can be used as a precursor to many other cobaloximes. Specifically, the reduction of chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime gives a very nucleophilic Co- ion, which can react to form new cobalt-carbon bonds. The cobalt-carbon bond can be broken either thermally or photolytically

-quality strikes” I mentioned, including the Global Scholar Grants, the NMR installation, our newly endowed chairs, as well as our public capital grants were made possible by generous donors and excellent development work. Given the economy, “mega” gifts were rare, and so the comprehensive campaign total grew more slowly, yet reached a total of $63.5 million by year end.
