gifts are very few and far between. So the campaign currently stands at $64 million. The focus this coming year will be a three part strategy: 1) The annual fund and student financial aid, 2) building and rebuilding the endowment through an emphasis on planned giving, and 3) moving forward with a series of smaller capital projects. As the economy strengthens, we are confident that the pace of campaign progress will increase, and that the total campaign line will again show a steeper rate of

midterms, one Lute’s voice is being heard loud and clear at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. Noah Baetge ’08 is making his eleventh appearance on stage at the Met Opera House, this time as Walther von der Vogelweide in the opera Tannhäuser. Baetge grew up in Monroe, Wash., and attended college in Bremerton before coming to PLU from 2001-2004. “PLU had both great teachers and great coaches,” Baetge said. “I got to work with the choir, which was a great place for me to work on my voice. I loved

Databases An understanding of any past grant success (including rejected proposals) to PLU is often the first place to start. This would also include funder or foundation contacts and any communications about proposals. Guidestar This database can provide you with specific information on a private funder total giving and detail about who they have funded in any given year through examination of their 990’s. Grants.gov Grants.gov allows users to search for information about federal, government-wide

Innovation and the Mind Posted by: halvormj / January 11, 2018 Image: Problem solving in Psychology is closely related to other disciplines. Photo by Morgan Harper Nichols on Unsplash. January 11, 2018 By Sarah Cornell-Maier. Understanding the function of the human brain is a truly enlightening experience, especially when you tie brain research into the newest developments in computer technology, creativity, and innovation studies. Recently, I got the opportunity to sit down at Pacific Lutheran

. Nanocrystals have important applications in solar cells due to their size-tunable optical and electronic properties. The CdSe nanosphere interface has been thoroughly studied with respect to how different ligands attached to the surface change certain properties. Nanobelts and other 2-dimensional nanostructures are a newer focus for improving the efficiency of solar cells. An important question to ask is whether the same ligands we apply to nanospheres are as effective when bound to nanobelts. We exposed

uncertainty, and solving them requires an understanding of probability and other areas of mathematics. Therefore, the vast majority of actuaries begin by getting a degree in mathematics. To become an actuary, you must pass a series of examinations given by the Society of Actuaries. The first exam is mostly on calculus and probability, while the later ones focus on finance and more specialized actuarial topics. You can take one or more exams while still in college. If you have passed an exam while still in

battery would presumably be higher,” Waldow explains. “So, that could translate into being able to drive more miles in an electric car before recharging, for example.” Waldow says requiring less frequent charging can remove some of the barriers that dissuade people from choosing electric cars. “Depending on how much you want to charge an electric car battery, it takes 30-40 minutes for a good charge. People may become impatient with that and just want to go to a gas station and fill up,” he says. “The

March 19, 2009 Something I Thought I’d Never Do: I never thought I’d become a rock climber Stretched out against a mock rock face at Tacoma’s Edgeworks Climbing Indoor Rock Gym, Kristi Reidel ’09 considered her next foothold, as she step-by-step scaled a 30-foot vertical wall with routes named “Big Scary Future” and “Channel the Hate.” This test of mental and physical endurance is one of the reasons Reidel, a senior at PLU, decided, almost on a whim, to take an outdoor survival and
