    What is BIRT?The purpose of the Bias Incident Response Team (BIRT) is to anonymously collect data regarding instances of experienced bias within the PLU community and monitor the type and frequency of such occurrences. Doing so will help us better understand our campus climate, create community-based educational opportunities to address noted trends in such occurrences, and foster an environment where everyone feels welcome. The BIRT does not adjudicate violations of PLU’s Student Code of

Quick Facts Welcome to Political ScienceThe student of politics seeks to understand how governments are organized and structured, how political processes are employed, and the relationship of structures and processes to societal purposes. Since political activity may embody and reflect the full range of human values, the study of politics includes realities of politics while at the same time asking how well political systems work

Taylor and PLU students camped on site and conducted a dig designed to unearth the history of the land and the lives of its past residents. “You don’t often find information about daily life in history books,” Taylor said. “That is something historical archaeology can provide to help us learn more about the past.” The homestead consisted of two structures. Students focused on the smaller building, creating an excavation unit by digging a square around the perimeter. Students then

As anthropological professionals they need to be able to use the theory and methodology of the field and our four hundred level, two-semester sequence of courses prepare them for this. We also encourage them to take part in study away programs and internships and volunteer opportunities in the community. We aim to prepare all our minors to bring anthropological skills and insights to their work and personal lives.

    PLU launches new data science major to meet growing demand in data-driven economy. Students learn essential analytical tools and techniques for extracting meaningful and precise insights from data. Lindsey Clark ’24 will return to PLU for her MA in Education and teaching credential. "The goal was to bring mathematics in new, fun, and interesting ways to students’ and their families’ lives,” Clark says. Physics major Julian Kop ’24 studied the universe and his family background at PLU. He

He worked with Grahe, professor of psychology, on an interdisciplinary research project validating Ward’s previous research on a relationally focused measurement of hope. The findings were recently accepted for publication in The American Journal of Family Therapy. Throughout the collaborative process of gathering data — with the help of two former PLU students who

    that will take huge amounts of data on protein sequences and produce conclusions, notice patterns and speed up analysis for scientists to use. It is a little bit of biology, statistics, mathematics and computer science. One application of this research is more efficient pharmaceutical drug design. “This is the first time at PLU that computer science has attempted this kind of research,” Cao said. “It is very new and the experience can be used for other students later.” The research is so cutting
