With that I threw the rock, and walked into the beaming sunshine. How blessed I truly am. Next, we boarded the buses and drove to Soweto, home to 2.5 million people. We ate a simple lunch in the nicest restaurant there. Even still, there were bars on the windows, no heating, cement floors, plastic chairs, and no finished ceiling above us

. Expansion of the program would include continuing to offer the program for all incoming first-year students and providing student teaching assistants for all sections. It would also involve investing in the professional development of instructors and TAs to emphasize the social justice outcomes associated with increased retention rates, particularly for historically marginalized students. By expanding the program, organizers hope to support the PLU community by connecting students to resources to

Foege became executive director of The Carter Center in 1986 and continues to serve the organization as a senior fellow. He has served on the PLU Board of Regents and received an honorary doctorate from PLU in 2000, when he was the university’s Commencement speaker. He helped shape the global-health work of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and remains a champion of a wide array of issues, including child survival and development, injury prevention and preventative medicine.

Elliot Stockstad, director of development for the organization, said 71 people raised money to support the nonprofit’s mission of providing affordable housing for low-income residents in the community. “We’re having a great time down here today,” Stockstad said from the rooftop of the Murano. “We have a crowd down there going wild.” PLU’s

as case numbers rise? Internships across the country fell to COVID-19 along with the professional development experience that they offer. Luckily, for current students, Brennan LaBrie ’21 and Armanda Dupont ’21, not even the pandemic could stop them from growing their skills in preparation for their graduation in May.  LaBrie is continuing his work in Port Townsend with the local paper The Leader. He began the job with an internship in summer 2019 and returned this summer with a promotion, as a

experience and mentorship for rising-senior undergraduate students who are interested in biomedical research.  Under the guidance of a faculty mentor, students will: Complete an independent research project; Attend weekly research seminars; Participate in professional development workshops designed to facilitate the preparation of competitive applications for graduate/medical school; and Present their findings at a competitive poster session. The program will run from Monday, June 10 – Friday, August 9
