theatre I could get. It worked out for me, but a full third of my peers were cut from the program or quit and had almost nothing which could count towards graduation outside of the program. After two years of education, many of them had to start from scratch. PLU is nothing like that. Because of our robust general education requirements within our liberal arts framework, students who change their major are often still able to graduate on time. I find that extremely comforting and liberating and our

Neeb Center A new home for the university’s award-winning jazz and NPR news radio station, KPLU, was funded by the campaign. It was named for Martin J. Neeb who served as general manager of the station from 1981 to 2007. Martin’s brother, Larry Neeb, a PLU regent, was the largest single benefactor of the building.

anyone interested in supporting the campaign. “Our hope is people translate the idea and general message of It’s On Us to issues that aren’t explicitly sexual assault,” said Smith. “Like incidents of bias or someone says something racist or hurtful. [There are] a number of ways that harm can be done to members of our community. [We need to] translate that idea of It’s On Us into all of those instances.” Here’s a look at some members of the PLU community who are supporting the It’s On Us campaign

the faculty governance and committee system will be working with the Provost’s Office on how that affects individual departments/programs. We also need to acknowledge and better understand how pedagogy, external standards, our commitment to General Education, and other factors affect the individual and collaborative capacity of programs. *Note: All comments are moderated In light of a reduced enrollment, how do we identify low-performing programs and eliminate them?

global health continues to expand in scope and popularity, I believe, is a much more precise definition of the enterprise. Much is at stake here and a general idea of what the goals are is no longer sufficient. Worse, a lack of definition opens the door to co-option and potential abuse. Bill Foege, a key player in this story and one of the world’s pioneering leaders in global health, earlier this year gave a talk at the University of Washington on global health. He said many things worth quoting, but

Proudest achievement: “All of my accomplishments,” she said, “are an ode to the people who have been part of my village, who uplift my throne and keep my crown steady.” These include “the strong women I grew up with—all immigrants from Somalia,” along with folks at the dCenter and at Green River’s Office

general openness to updates and a high level of disdain for this particular update, these reviews largely sidestep the question that so preoccupies Dames and the books he reviews: what happens when we deprettify Austen? What happens when we take the prettifications for granted and work from there? A new adaptation of a well-known novel could have been an occasion for thinking more deeply about how the particulars of the source text and of the adaptation mutually illuminate one another. This would mean

up and running. We completed the implementation of our revised faculty review system which is a key piece of our faculty development efforts. In addition, our new general education program was successfully implemented, complete with its own assessment plan. Most of our academic units responded to the call to offer their programmatic vision of the future as part of the PLU 2020 discussion. And, as the year ended, the provost’s office conducted a survey among faculty in an effort to discern their
