to go out and make the most of my one wild and precious life. Kelvin Adams – Bachelor of Science in physics, minor in mathematics Kelvin Adams ’12 is from Portland, Ore. Why PLU? I came to PLU because I wanted to be a Lute! The sense of community at PLU was head and shoulders above every other school I visited, and I wanted to be a part of this community. I was also drawn to the fact that at PLU you have access to professors who are truly invested in your education and who even show up to events

enters the world without the ability to critically examine and find relationships between seemingly opposite subjects like philosophy and physics. My PLU experience: One word enters my head when I think about my PLU experience: support. It has been an incredible experience that has challenged me to look beyond my culture, my understanding of my family, my friends and myself. Over the last four years, I have changed and grown as a person due to the relationships with mentors, professors and peers that

will continue as a university priority for the immediate future. The transformed center will provide 88,500 square feet of classroom and research space for biology, chemistry, computer science, geosciences, physics and environmental studies. Among the projects planned for Rieke that were completed during the campaign was the Louis and Lydia Sheffels Biology Laboratory. It was made possible by the support of Carol (Sheffels ’58) Quigg, Jerry Sheffels ’54 and the entire Sheffels family. Carol Quigg

cook for themselves. Some, like applied physics and computer science double major Tim Hurd ’13, who has lived off campus for more than a year, find themselves reinventing the meaning of cooking. Hurd draws his food-spiration from a book his grandma and mom bought him in high school. The book, “A Man, a Can, a Plan,” epitomizes a man’s approach to cooking, with dense laminated cardboard pages and recipes that require a large number of canned and pre-prepared food items – but for Hurd it’s perfect

physics with minors in mathematics and music Why PLU? I chose PLU because of the people and the opportunities. I was looking for a place where classes were small enough to hold conversations with professors and classmates and to get to know professors one on one.

If this is so, then those beliefs central to a religious conceptual system end up just about

, professor of chemistry, received another in a long series of Natural Sciences Foundation grants–this one for $98,000 for his research in polymer chemistry. Archaeologist Don Ryan, a PLU alumnus and a faculty fellow in humanities, published “Beneath the Sands of Egypt” to critical and popular acclaim. These are just a few examples of faculty scholarship, to which one can add the dozens of performances by our music faculty, creative works by our faculty in art and theater, as well as the contemporary

changes in university leadership, and this year is no exception. So today we recognize Steve Olson who, in a seamless transition in January of this year, stepped up to lead as our new vice president for Development and University Relations. And just four weeks ago, Associate Professor of Physics Steve Starkovich became our acting provost for this year, enabling Provost Patricia Killen to embark on her well-deserved sabbatical leave. I ask today that each of you say “thank you” and pledge your full
