issues, including the instrumental role he played in securing federal funding for the Math, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program now located in the Morken Center. Dicks was a remarkable leader for our community and an advocate for the community at the federal level, securing federal funding for the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority and for its successors, including the Puget Sound Partnership. In 2001, he was instrumental in setting aside $12 billion for the Land and Water

paradigm that rewards institutions that prioritize high-paying professional fields such as engineering, computer science, and the health sciences. The study also suggests that colleges who are able to recruit students with extraordinarily high school test scores and grade point averages often receive more credit than they deserve for their contributions to the professional success of their graduates. As the column points out, high test scores and grade point averages reflect high intelligence and a

said. “It’s fun to do something that spreads what I know to a larger audience.” The Scandinavian Studies scholar provided expertise on the Norse Gods, as well as how they relate to the writing of J.R.R. Tolkien – the author of The Lord of the Rings. This summer he flew to New York to film the segments and was referred by PLU Associate Professor of classics Eric Nelson to producer Chris Cassel. Nelson appeared as an expert in Cassel’s Emmy Award winning program “Rome: Engineering an Empire.” Nelson

video using scraps of story lines from the Godfather and the Mario brothers to hold for “ransom” a favored stuffed toy of Matt’s called “toad.” Or something like that. These guys have a tendency to talk over each other in the telling the story, as they gathered last week for a mini-reunion of sorts on the PLU campus. They had so much fun making the film, when again, they should have been studying for their classics or engineering finals, they made a film – Demon Hunters (think Buffy meets Monte

. “And that’s exactly the way it should be.” Born in China, and then growing up and studying in Switzerland, Fischer came to the U.S. in the 1950s, when biochemistry was in its infancy. He noted wryly that money poured into the National Institute of Health, and his field of research, after then President Eisenhower had a heart attack. He marked the great technical advances of the 20th century squarely in the area of physics. As for the last half of the century – the fields of genetic engineering and

themes. Lutes can choose from housing that uplifts gender empowerment and equity, creative expression, DJS (diversity, justice, sustainability), wellness, STEM, global engagement, and more. Cherish Scheidhauer, a PLU first-year student studying biomedical engineering, didn’t find out about RLCs until well into the admissions process when her admissions counselor mentioned STEM House. “It’s really cool how it brings people together based on their similar interest in STEM, but also it brings a lot of

technology. He opened up that pathway to me.” Gavidia also was part of the College of Natural Sciences Mentoring Program. “Everyone should use that program. Those alumni are super motivated, and they answer any questions you have. It could be related to your major or not, and you can just have good conversations with them.” Amazon has already offered him a software engineering position. Eventually, he wants to start his own software company after gaining more experience in the field. Read Previous Ash
