    excessive consumption and endorsing an unhealthy narrative. In response, sustainable marketing techniques offer a promising avenue for change. This study examines how consumer behaviors and societal norms can be shifted towards sustainability by leveraging sustainable marketing strategies. The case study of Oatly, a Swedish oat company, is analyzed to assess the effectiveness of sustainable marketing techniques such as stealth marketing, social proof, and identification in driving long-term social and

  • The Dynamic Compression Summer School has been established to provide an overview of dynamic compression science appropriate for upper-level undergraduates and first-year graduate students. The four and a half days of activities will introduce students to the scientific fundamentals, contemporary research activities including informal discussions,…

    ? Dynamic compression experiments subject materials to unique thermodynamic conditions – very large compressions, high temperatures, and large deformations – on short time scales resulting in a rich array of physical and chemical changes. Understanding the material response at these extreme conditions is of central importance to fundamental science and spans the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Sciences, Geo/Planetary Sciences, and Solid Mechanics. Research activities related to the dynamic

    might study the inner workings of atoms and nuclei, the size and age of the universe, the behavior of high-temperature superconductors, or the life cycles of stars, from their formation out of interstellar gases to their end-states as pulsars or black holes. Physicists use high-energy accelerators to search for quarks; they design new laser systems for applications in medicine and communications; they heat hydrogen gases to temperatures above those at the sun’s core in the attempt to develop nuclear

Service to his community is an important part of Freeman’s life. “It is beneficial to help the community as a whole, just to give back,” he says “Nothing really exists in a vacuum. We can’t really do anything without the help of others.” This past November, Justyn served as the coordinator for PLU Nursing’s Delta Turkey Basket Drive, which provided Thanksgiving meals for 215 families. “Coordinating takes a lot of

  • Student, professor investigate untold story of WWII In the spring of 1942, 10,000 soldiers were sent to the Yukon. Their task: construct the 1,500-mile military road, the Alaska-Canada Highway, to be used to repel a possible invasion by the Japanese during World War II. Sitting…

    to focus on the racial implications associated with the African-American soldiers. In the winter, all the soldiers had to face temperatures that often dipped to 40 below. In the summer, it was mosquito swarms. Long days and low pay were a year-round phenomenon. The African-American soldiers dealt with the added burdens of racism and isolation. The military wouldn’t allow the African-American troops into nearby towns. The soldiers had to contend with inadequate clothing, as many of the troops were
