, but the thought of the audience viewing the performance live. “Knowing that we were being viewed by 12 million people was very weird,” he said. “It’s a really small place. I think I was more excited than nervous.” “It was pretty amazing,” said Daniel Gilbertson, a junior biology major. “It’s exactly what you’d expect it to be. Performing in front of that many people is exactly what we’re looking for as a group.” The group was busy with publicity interviews, AGT video shoots and rehearsals for two

dropped them off at one end of Hilltop and told them to walk through the community to the other side. They were to give themselves a tour. “I thought of it as a dark scary alley with danger around every corner,” said Rebecca Denning ’13, biology major from Bigfork, Mont. Many of them had never been in the area before and had no idea what to expect. “I asked them to ‘Do what you’d do to learn about places,'” Alger said. “It’s wonderful to hear them talk about their experiences.” So, they stopped by

profile of Terri Card. From the exam room to executive leadershipWhen Mark Mariani ’98 was a student at PLU his singular goal was to become a medical doctor. A member of the football team and a biology major, Mariani loved his science courses, but he also found he was interested in a range of disciplines from economics to the humanities. He achieved his goal a few years later, earning a M.D. at the University of Washington. And while working with patients was just as rewarding as he’d hoped, his broad

set of premises, and find out what you can build from it, or what patterns you can find and connections you can make. When did you decide on environmental studies? My Writing 101 course was “Evolutionary Biology and Taxonomy.” The purpose of the class was to learn scientific technical writing, but I was surprised at how arbitrary taxonomy is. That got me interested in animal studies and a critical lens of the sciences, which is why I added environmental studies. "The first thing I noticed on the

wanted to impact people’s lives in a positive way, but I also didn’t want to major in biology or chemistry, so I entered my freshman year as a computer science major,” he says. It was a choice that would radically change his chosen path.In his first computer science class at PLU, Gavidia learned how quickly software can scale and impact people around the world. “Just one person, or a small group of people, can accomplish so much,” Gavidia says. That moment was key for him: he realized he didn’t have

opportunities for students interested in applying math skills to real-world problems. Each year she covers the modeling process and techniques, then asks students what they’re interested in. “It’s an ocean of knowledge,” she said. “You can pretty much model anything.” In her own research, Zhu uses math to understand underlying mechanisms in developmental biology, such as pattern formations in butterflies, the kind of unexpected application that opens students’ minds to possible connections—not only between

sister, who graduated in 2022 with a degree in biology. At first, Ambachew thought she’d go into computer programming and user experience design by majoring in computer science. In her first year at PLU, a Microsoft internship taught her about software engineering and product management. Ambachew dove into the field, working part-time during the school year and full-time one summer with Geeking Out Kids of Color (GOKiC). GOKiC is a Seattle-area after-school and summer program offering multicultural
