    University Place and Puyallup, both suburbs of Tacoma. Along the way, she earned an MBA from PLU in 1993. She describes one of the most important lessons learned there, from Professor (now Professor Emeritus) Eli Berniker: “We were using a mathematical formula to calculate inventory, and had to write a paper on how to apply the formula. I ran the numbers, and came up with a number that didn’t make sense.” So she wrote an explanation of how she would do the calculation, using her own reasoning. As it

Students then build their own self-sustaining terrarium inside a glass jar and seal it to represent the conditions that would be present on the ship. This project was a favorite for many of Heath’s students, including mathematics and physics double major Matthew Helmer ’24. “It was the most hands-on part of the class, where we researched and experimented with how to make an artificial water cycle to allow plants to flourish,” he
