Students will often stop to watch the NMR’s nifty robotic arm dropping or picking up samples from the magnet barrel as they walk by its new home – a bright, windowed lab redesigned thanks to generous gifts from alumni and friends of

In 2002 he came to PLU, where he now instructs students and performs on the famous Gottfried and Mary Fuchs Organ, the largest one west of the Mississippi River.
