At PLU, you can test your math skills in the classroom, but you can also showcase your problem-solving prowess outside the classroom! This year, a three-person PLU student team finished in the top five of the Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling , an international contest where…
student team finished in the top five of the Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling, an international contest where teams of undergrad students have 99 hours straight to create a mathematical model addressing a complex social or scientific issue. The top awards typically go to large technical schools, often in China. But this year, PLU’s team finished in the top 5!Duffy Anderson ’24, Matthew Helmer ’24 and Madeline Rue ’25 were one of 1,057 teams to tackle Problem D, which required teams to analyze the

what you can build from it, or what patterns you can find and connections you can make. When did you decide on environmental studies? My Writing 101 course was “Evolutionary Biology and Taxonomy.” The purpose of the class was to learn scientific technical writing, but I was surprised at how arbitrary taxonomy is. That got me interested in animal studies and a critical lens of the sciences, which is why I added environmental studies. The first thing I noticed on the bus from the airport [in Oxford

Robert N. Bellah, the Elliott Professor of Sociology Emeritus at the University of California at Berkeley, was the lecturer for the annual David and Marilyn Knutson Lecture, Oct. 24. (Photo by John Struzenberg ’15) Adapting to the advancements of modernity By Katie Scaff ’13 How…
challenges. Bellah’s topic was that of his next book, the namesake of the lecture, in which he explores the advancement of modern society in relation to the rises and falls of past societies. Those societies have experienced a hard ceiling, said Bellah, produced by “the paradox of development – the very success of pre-modern societies leads to overpopulation, famine, plague and war.” Bellah explained the tendencies for societies to rise and fall using the social development index developed by historian

sexuality studies. I took the PLUS Year to get it all done. Knapp: I have two majors, in environmental studies and theatre, and a minor in Hispanic studies. I’m also taking a PLUS Year. How do your majors interact with each other? Ruggeri: PLU’s liberal arts program really encourages us to connect our studies. You see great examples of political theatre with “Hamilton,” for example. My political science and environmental studies inform how I create active political and social change with theatre. The

The PLU Psychology colloquium series aims to provide PLU students, faculty and staff rich, meaningful exposure to the state of the art in research in psychology.
scientists and engineers working in their chosen fields continues to be mostly White, mostly men, and mostly from urban or suburban backgrounds (e.g., National Science Foundation, 2017; Carnegie Science Center, 2014). A lot of attention has been paid to supporting underrepresented groups across the STEM pipeline from schooling to the workforce. Yet, the earliest years of life may be key to supporting interest and participation in STEM, when social group membership stereotypes are being forged and before
