religious identity. As recent as six months before graduating high school, it didn’t cross my mind that I’d attend PLU. I was a Spanaway native who always assumed the “L” excluded me from consideration. Then I toured campus and stayed overnight. I learned PLU’s middle name wasn’t a label, but rather a philosophy — a philosophy that energized me. I didn’t have to be Lutheran.

earned a master’s in education from Pacific Lutheran University in 2014. “It’s mayhem, but I do love it. It’s chaotic, but that’s how real life is.” The payoff often comes in the midst of the commotion. That’s where Cook finds moments of clarity and “the human connection — it’s the best.” Cook and others who have completed their graduate work in education at PLU say the program equipped them to deal with both the highs and lows of classroom life. And they credit the close working relationships they

associate professor of Spanish who oversaw the capstone paper Taylor-Mosquera wrote in Oaxaca, says “it was one of the best I had seen at PLU.” After graduating from PLU in December 2009, and spending a year in Panama serving with the Peace Corps, Taylor-Mosquera returned to Tacoma, where he would immerse himself in teaching Spanish. Serving at Tacoma’s Annie Wright School and SeaTac’s Tyee High School, Taylor-Mosquera relished the opportunity to introduce young people to the language, cultures and

Opportunities like this are all about making connections, and it’s reflected in our new name: Alumni & Student Connections — the integration of the former Alumni office and Career office that forms a dynamic hub for mentoring, career development and vocation for alumni and students. “This may seem like an obvious pairing — alumni and student careers,” said PLU President Allan Belton. “But the fact is that most small colleges don’t do it well because
