range of scientific realms, including physics, chemistry, biology, climate science, and geology. By examining the ocean from these diverse perspectives, students gain a comprehensive understanding of its complexities and significance. ESCI 102 allows PLU students to get their hands wet (literally!) with labs and field trips. These hands-on experiences reinforce theoretical concepts and foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world. One of the highlights of ESCI 102 is the field trip to the

focus on chemistry at interfaces in which molecular processes occur on surfaces. The site will train students to use spectroscopy, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and computational methods to study materials and molecules at interfaces. All students also take part in a professional development and ethics training program, with a focus on science communication and preparation for graduate school or industrial careers.

Walker says the masterclass will be relaxed in order to encourage students to find a personal connection to the music and their own voice. “This approach helps to achieve deeper artistry by using one’s personal experiences to enhance vocalism,” Walker explains. He also plans to bring out students’ creativity and instruct them on using their emotions as a tool for singing. When questioned about what guidance he would give to beginner students, Walker advises students to
