Public Health Concerns and PLU Community Updates Posted by: Student Life / July 29, 2022 July 29, 2022 Dear PLU Community, As we continue to engage in the long game of responding as a community to multiple coexisting public health concerns, I am writing to update you on two specific concerns that may be on your mind: COVID-19 variants and the emergence of monkeypox in Washington State. First, I’ll provide some reminders and information about current COVID-19 protocols on campus, and then I’ll

literary focus from, “classically difficult white guy writing” to, “water stuff,” specifically through a global and environmental lens. Instead of saving lives in an ambulance, Schaumberg began changing them in classrooms by teaching, researching, and advocating for environmental preservation. The connections between the way we read, write, and talk about the environment, and the way this is reflected in the physical world, intrigued him, and he began to recognize the interconnectedness between our

PLU Department of Computer ScienceWith a degree in computer science, you might end up writing code for software simulations of proteins, creating the next big video game, or developing a social application that connects people in new ways. The possibilities are limitless.

part of the reason I really enjoyed working with second graders during my student teaching. How was your student teaching experience? I recently completed my student teaching at Lakeview Hope Academy in the Clover Park School District. It was very special. Clover Park is a very diverse district. I worked with second graders. I had a lot to learn as I changed from an observer to a full-time student teacher. I love reading and writing, and it was so fun to connect with the students through those

or details of a physical demonstration (like a lab experiment). I recommend sharing as much content as possible on your computer screen. For example, rather than writing notes on a whiteboard, it would be preferable to take notes on a Google Document that can be displayed on screen during the virtual meeting and shared as a digital document after class. Students participating virtually may need to ask questions or share comments during class. This can be challenging to manage, and virtual

The Edison Awards: Innovations That Shape the World Posted by: halvormj / February 23, 2018 February 23, 2018 By Damian Alessandro ’19 It’s awards season! Not the Academy Awards–although we do host awards parties at Pacific Lutheran University. I’m writing about the annual awards for innovation that have everyone whispering excitedly in the discipline of Innovation Studies. That’s right–its the Edison Awards, which honor excellence in the development, marketing, and launch of new products and

the presence of technology on stage carries in our centuries-old performance traditions. As a result, I’m inclined to connect the use of electronics in live performance to paradigms of technology in our lives, more broadly. Thus, in writing this piece for wind ensemble and electronics, I wanted to find ways that our echo chambers of tribalism might connect with the sonic origins of the term, and how growing presence in our socio-technological lives might be explored through musical storytelling

Not only will the trip include visits to famous landmarks in Atlanta, Montgomery, Birmingham and Selma, but students will also have the opportunity to reflect on the role the media plays in current social movements. Many of the revolutions in the Middle East have been sparked by social media, and the

, Lynam has learned, when elected officials are hammering away at difficult budget decisions. And of that, Lynam and fellow PLU student, Bridgette Cooper ’11, have a front-row view. “By far, I think it’s one of the best times to be down here,” Cooper, a legislative intern for Sen. Derek Kilmer (D-Gig Harbor), said. As legislative interns, both students spend long hours listening and responding to the constituents of their senators, often writing letters in response to those questions. They also give

… sometimes you have to fall out of favor with what you love to really appreciate it.” Sports always has been a huge part of Croft’s life, and as he grew up, he found a way to merge it with another passion: writing. At Inglemoor High School in Kenmore, Wash., Croft wrote about sports, and at PLU he was a Journalism major who wrote and edited for The Mast. After graduation, though, newspaper jobs were few and far between—and Croft missed soccer. “I connected with an old club coach, who got me onto a couple
