raised in the Inland Northwest of Washington State. After crossing the Cascades, she began working toward a double major in studio art and English literature at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA, with the intent of becoming a secondary educator in the field of art or English. While not attending to her own education, she spent her summers away from college teaching preschool and elementary school aged children ne arts at the Corbin Art Center in Spokane, WA. Like the children she taught, art

prepare high school students for college. Horn expects to hear back about the opportunity by May 20. In the future, Horn sees himself becoming a teacher. At the moment, his end goal is to teach English and find a way to incorporate literature and film in the classroom.  While his time at PLU challenged him, Horn suspects it’s only the beginning. He anticipates leaving the PLU community will be an adjustment post graduation, but he’s ready. “Maybe the most challenging thing hasn’t come yet,” he said

, professor of chemistry, received another in a long series of Natural Sciences Foundation grants–this one for $98,000 for his research in polymer chemistry. Archaeologist Don Ryan, a PLU alumnus and a faculty fellow in humanities, published “Beneath the Sands of Egypt” to critical and popular acclaim. These are just a few examples of faculty scholarship, to which one can add the dozens of performances by our music faculty, creative works by our faculty in art and theater, as well as the contemporary

PLU gave me. This connection nurtured me and allowed me to find my passion. I eventually changed what I wanted to do with my life and I can thank everyone at PLU for helping me realize what I wanted to do. What’s next? Next year I am going to be attending the University of British Columbia where I will be pursuing my Ph.D. in molecular biology.  The particular lab that I will be in focuses on how a cell can get what it needs from the environment and get rid of waste.  When this process goes wrong

in English literature Why PLU? After taking a tour, I was convinced. PLU felt like home. I was excited about the Wild Hope Project, International Honors, and the small class size. I sat in on a class and the professor knew everyone’s name and the class itself was a space where people could come together as valued intellectuals on a common search for more knowledge. There was no feel of hierarchy, just a shared passion for learning. That’s exactly what I wanted out of my collegiate experience

batteries store more energy per mass (specific energy) and per volume (energy density) than Li-ion batteries, but cannot discharge that energy as quickly as modern electronics need because metal anodes oxidize too slowly. We hypothesize that the specific power of metal-air batteries, as a class, would increase if the electrochemically accessible interfacial areas of metal anodes were greatly increased by supporting the redox-active metal component on nanostructured, porous current collectors. In such a

perhaps, I will get a degree in international relations…or another subject all together! While working on my capstone (which focuses on modern Korean history) I have only been more drawn to history and more drawn to Korea in particular. In the more distant and vaguer future I think I would like to work on the international level in some way. but as of right now, I am just gong with the flow and seeing where life takes me.
