There’s always more to learn and read.” And last but definitely not least, this summer Carli took part in the Auschwitz Jewish Center fellowship which lasted about three and a half weeks. Here’s her report! “Along with ten other fellows, we began with a training in New York before departing to Poland, where we spent time in Krakow, Warsaw, the town of Oswiecim [named

really rooted in the idea of introducing newer theater artists in training to theater practitioners who are already in the industry and have experience. There were two internships that I was looking at … the directing one and the teaching intern one, which is the one that I got. Both of them were really exciting to me, and they were also paid internships, so that was a big part of it too. What was the application process like, and what do you believe helped you stand out and land the internship? I

Alice Steinglass of Code.Org introduces the Hour of Code (Photo/John Froschauer) Regular blog readers may know that I work at Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) in Tacoma, but received my M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington. So I enjoy going back to the UW campus when I can. But why is Computer Education Week so important? First and foremost

still follow that stuff avidly,” Youtz says. “I wanted to be a philosopher, I wanted be a historian, I love anthropology, of course I have no formal training in any of these. “Music just kept pulling me back.” Arriving in Champagne, Youtz signed on as an able-bodied migrant laborer, picking champagne grapes along the French countryside. Following four weeks of fieldwork, Youtz hitchhiked south with burgundy-stained digits, and stumbled into employment at L’Aigle (The Eagle), a ski resort nestled

remember fondly her stellar performance of Prokofiev’s wickedly difficult Sonata for Flute and Piano in her senior recital.” So while Rottle’s PLU plan might have been a little up in the air, one thing was certain: After earning a bachelor’s degree in Music, there was no question she was a musician. And she wanted even more. “Being a student, you need to get the credentials and skills,” Rottle said. “Especially being a performer, it is less about the academic side of it; it is more about the training

I usually stayed until around 7 p.m., then collected my things, and biked home. When I started, I did one day of online lab safety training and then moved into shadowing for a few days. By the end of my first week, I had been given multiple lines of MOLM-13 acute myeloid leukemia cells. During my second week, I was preparing and running an assay to measure senescence in

Students at PLU receive excellent hands-on training in the classrooms and laboratories of Rieke. Now is a particularly exciting time in the chemistry department. With near record numbers of majors, student-faculty research projects recently have ranged from investigating additives that would give polymers or plastics new
