    courses “use multiple lenses in order to overcome the blindness that comes from insisting upon just one.” While Heath’s class is advertised as a starship design class, the course is actually a multi-disciplinary exploration of the current state of planet Earth and the issues facing humanity.“This is a course about asking big questions and pursuing insightful answers,” Heath writes in the class syllabus. “Although we will be using some scientific methods of inquiry and exploring scientific ideas, this

  • About two and a half hours east of Tacoma sits the farming community of Yakima, Washington. The Central Washington county has about 243,000 residents and is probably most notable for producing the majority of the nation’s apples and hops. But it’s also where Henry Temple…

    shooting skits was intimidating to him at first. “I didn’t know if I could do it or not until I sat in my room and opened up my laptop,” he said. “My first two years (at PLU) gave me the confidence that I could do this if I really worked at it. I think, yes, I’ve always wanted to do it, but I hadn’t had the confidence until I had some time in college to just experiment and take the opportunity.” Much like Temple, Gutierrez didn’t have PLU on her radar until she began the process of looking for a

  • by Patrick Colin Wakefield Last July I was contacted by a PLU music faculty member, Erik Steighner, about recording an album. Erik, as a saxophone professor, obviously loves music for saxophone. His dream was to record an album of modern chamber music for saxophone featuring…

    Unfortunately, prior to the upgrades in the Lagerquist Production room this past winter we could only record two tracks at a time, or a single stereo file. This provided a new challenge for me: the mix I recorded was set in stone. If I failed to balance the instruments properly while recording, there would be no way to fix them later. I’ll admit, I was worried. I’d never been in a situation where I couldn’t go back and fix things in a recording, and this was my first time producing an album at PLU. My First
