department chair, Craig Fryhle. “I just knew then I wanted to come to PLU and study under him,” Osborn said recently during a break between classes and work in the University Center. When Osborn finally enrolled in PLU two years ago, she set a goal of earning her bachelor’s. Assistant chemistry professor Neal Yakelis said he was impressed when he first met Osborn. “I remember seeing her in my inorganic chemistry class,” he said. “She sat in the front row and I noticed how thoughtful her work was. Her lab

. “That’s the funny attribute of a Nobel Prize,” he said. “It catches you off guard. We wouldn’t have changed anything (in our research) even if there had been no prize at the end of the work.” But, as a matter of fact, there was. Fischer quickly warned the students that just because a Nobel might now be on a resume, to not assume that research grants would come flowing into the doors of the lab. In fact, it usually becomes harder to get the money for projects, he said. “It is more difficult,” he said

entrepreneur, marketer, and technology developer, he has been an active supporter of PLU and the School of Business since graduation. “I received a lot of value from my time at PLU,” he explained. “I just think it’s important to give back.” Foster has mentored students and interns, spoken to classes, advised campus organizations, and donated funds for technology equipment at the cutting-edge Class of 1958 Finance Lab with Bloomberg Terminal in the School of Business. His favorite experiences have involved

with a private environmental science lab. He took the job and found that he loved his new field. “I spend a lot of time running or hiking and fishing outdoors, and it’s cool to be out there,” he says. Environmental science tied Chontofalsky’s passion for science and nature in a new way. “People look at Wapato Lake and wonder, ‘Why is this water so clear?'” he says, and now Chontofalsky can explain the chemistry of water treatment and the lake clean-up process. “It’s just been a cool experience,” he

abroad all of last year, which was really amazing and something that I would not really have been able to fit in as easily as a STEM major,” Jackie said. During her PLUS Year, Jackie was able to attend chemistry classes in person, turn her math minor into a major, and complete a minor in Hispanic Studies. After two summers working in Dr. Dean Waldow’s chemistry lab, where students have been working to synthesize a solid polymer electrolyte for use in lithium-ion batteries, Jackie realized one of her
