He is currently preparing to install a hot water panel, which is designed to minimize electricity used to heat hot water in a home. Tegels said there is a lot of misinformation circulating in an attempt to disprove the scientific research done about climate change. He said that enough scientific information points him in the right direction, and moving beyond science he said caring about the planet is simply

For his part, Lynam, a transfer from Olympic College, had a similar experience. “I was really attracted to a smaller school and having a more personal relationship with the professors,” he said. So he came to PLU –and he got what he wanted. One of the first classes he took was with political science professor Ann Kelleher. It helped spark his interest in the political process. The

It is significant because this is the first time that a governmental agency has mandated that universities use ‘yes means yes,’ or what’s called ‘affirmative consent.’”-PLU Assistant Professor of Political Science Kaitlyn Sill What is changing is the presumption of whether or not consent is given… What these laws do is change our understanding of how to approach the question of when consent is given in ambiguous

She joined the Washington Conservation Voters in 2008 and became its president in 2014, leading the organization’s political, campaign, and accountability strategies.“I first learned about the climate crisis in detail – and how to advocate for policy and political change — at PLU,” she said. “I loved my time at PLU. My education taught me to think critically, challenge the status quo, and advocate for my community.” We talked to Murphy

” the classroom. My students have thus not noticed a huge change in content delivery, though they do clearly miss the face-to-face time with me and their peers. The PLUTO training experience resulted in one of the most significant and positive shifts in my own pedagogy in my 36-year career. I volunteered to do it because I felt this was probably the future of academia — I just had no idea how quickly “the future” might emerge!

those things have been over time,” he explains. “An analysis of innovation should look at human communities, economic issues, art & design, ethics, technology, and more. If you examine these elements in an interdisciplinary way, you can really assess the dynamics of change in society.” Halvorson teaches business and economic history courses in the history department, as well as classes on innovation and the history of technology. He has also continued publishing books, including the lively new

ways the diets of medieval Benedictines were very different from those of the average modern-day American. “It’s good to remember,” said Dr. Torvend,  “that the lives of these communities were guided by the daily motion of the sun and moon, by the changing seasons of the year.

I think this is such an important skill to have and will transcend jobs, activities and phases of life. For me athletics provides an outlet for stress relief. The importance of having an outlet for having stress relief is something I will take as I move into graduate school and further in life. How do you see yourself as part of the Lute
