two classroom spaces and a variety of learning materials, such as workbooks, puzzles and flashcards, for the tutoring program. Fisher estimates roughly 40 Bantu adults and children live in Tacoma, with many cramming families of five or more into one tiny apartment. St. Mark’s involvement with the refugees began in 2004 when the church decided to sponsor two Bantu families – a total of 12 people. The church, whose members include a number of PLU alumni, formed a 12-member African Family Support

pocket knife and they go out into the woods and produce art.” The MacGyver reference, of course, is a lighthearted nod to the late-’80s action-adventure television show in which a secret-agent solves complex technical problems with everyday materials – items like a Swiss Army knife, duct tape and a few bent coat-hangers. Clapp considered this high praise. He still does. “PLU theater students are practiced in being very creative,” he said, “because that’s about as technologically savvy as that

Research Fellowships? How does it help PLU and its students?” Travis: “Without this fellowship, I would not have considered investigating information from historical death records that are only available in paper form. Without these resources, if Teresa and I were able to work together at all, we would have been forced to simplify our work to only use what is available online.” “However, it is the materials in paper archives that can lead us to explore new topics. Too little has been published on the

in the late 1970s, Huelsbeck worked on what would become one of the most profound archeological Native American discoveries ever – Ozette. The centuries old Native American village on the Washington Coast was remarkably preserved by a landslide between 400 and 500 years ago. Time stood still at the village, in many ways like the volcanic preserved site of Pompeii. “The landslide created an air tight seal,” Huelsbeck said. “It even preserved plant materials. The whole bit was preserved.” After a

PLU students and faculty on their adventures abroad, and you will live vicariously through them. You will remember learning about how the building materials, automatic lighting system, and other elements of the UC are leading to LEED Silver Sustainability Certification. Signs posted in the bathrooms sometimes will remind you to use only as much water as you need to wash your hands. This will make you proud not just to be a college student, but a PLU student, and even in this small way, a conscious

Vigney felt the need to justify his treatment of historical materials, but faced a problem: if historians were allowed to define the terms of the indictment, there was no doubt that he would be found guilty on all counts. Deciding that the best defense is a good offense, Vigny chose to turn the tables on the historians. In an engaging preface entitled “Reflexions sur la vérité dans l’art,” he rejected the notion that the work of art ought to be a mere representation or reflection of the real world

be relaxing! I plan on doing some traveling and lots of hiking before graduate school starts in the fall. In mid-August I will be moving to Boulder, Colorado to enter the chemistry Ph.D. program at the University of Colorado Boulder. I have been accepted in the materials and nanoscience division and will be getting involved in the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute to research improving sources of renewable energy. The University of Colorado Boulder also has strong ties to the National
