Pacific Lutheran University leaders recently announced two new natural sciences programs. Officially launching in fall 2022, students will be able to pursue a major in applied mathematics and/or a minor in engineering and industry. The applied mathematics major builds upon the existing mathematics courses, incorporates…
interdisciplinary studies and adds a permanent mathematical modeling course that challenges students to use mathematic tools to solve real-world problems. “It is really awesome to pair with other science majors to give more math background to support those concepts,” said N. Justice, assistant professor of mathematics. “Such double majors will be set apart and stronger in the job market.” Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the applied mathematics major pairs well with other natural sciences majors such as

other half reserved for OR trips. By making bikes available and providing a map of bike-able roads and trails in the area, Pfaff hopes to increase the number of students, faculty and staff who regularly ride bikes. “It’s a more sustainable way of traveling,” Pfaff said. Plus, there are the added benefits of getting some exercise and saving money on gas, he added. An English writing and environmental studies double major, Pfaff was moved to get involved in PLU’s sustainability efforts after taking a

PLU Vs. The Plow PLU’s men’s basketball team will help horses prepare the fields at the Emergency Food Network’s Mother Earth Farm in Puyallup on April 12. (Photo courtesy of EFN) Basketball Team Takes on Clydesdales to Prepare Mother Earth Farm for Planting By Sandy…
a fan of EFN. “It’s a tremendous organization,” he said. “The concept is for every $1 donated, they can produce $12 worth of food. Not only is this good community outreach, but it’s also a good educational experience for our kids—they’ll see exactly the hard work involved.” Speaking of hard work: While the plowing challenge is the perfect family-friendly spectator sport, it’s also a strenuous one. So how is the team training for this matchup? “The coaching staff may have to exercise, but the
