GEOS 107. My studies were split into two primary sections. For the first part, I worked with a tutor from the Oxford ecology department, where I focused on climate change indicators, attributions, and spent a good amount of time on biodiversity impacts and conservation policy. I culminated these weeks with a research project on Pacific Northwest salmon conservation laws and policy history. For the second section, I had the opportunity to work with a member of UKCIP, an organization that develops

I will examine some of the insights about perpetrators that may be gleaned from the Cambodian genocide. Specifically, I will consider

enjoyed it so far,” she said of the career shift. “This was a great opportunity to combine epidemiology with environmental ecology.” Her day-to-day work includes studying birds and various species of mosquitoes, seeking to understand what keeps West Nile prevalent in Atlanta. The professors who run her lab have global connections, and have been consulted frequently as Zika continues to spread. There are no vaccines or medications available for Zika, which has spread rapidly through South and Central

paper will also demonstrate the indomitable fights of Asian Americans for racial equality. The “China virus” and “disease carriers” run in the same historical groove, stirring hatred, racial antagonism and social conflicts. It has been one and a half centuries since Congress passed the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act which was quickly extended to other Asian immigrants. The Gentleman’s Agreement of 1907, the Oriental Exclusion Act of 1924 and the Executive Order of 9066 in 1942 were part of federal

Such information is derived from images of the body surfaces, palpable changes in various organs and tissues, and auditory information (patient voice, heart tones, bowel and lung sounds). The student must be able to modify decisions and actions when dictated by new relevant data or after analysis of existing data. The student should be capable

On a holistic level, the Women’s Center gave me a place to call home while I was at PLU. It was one of the places where I felt

Berguson, program director for the Telemark Gateway, says both programs look beyond Scandinavian heritage and focus on the “needed element” of studying contemporary Norway. “Our courses (in Scandinavian-area studies) and study away both strive to move students from an interest in heritage to an interest in how Norway approaches disciplines like business, alpine ecology and literature from their perspective,” she said.

States as an orphan. An estimated two million people died as a result of war, famine and disease caused by the Second Sudanese Civil War — including five of David’s siblings and his father. At one time, four million people were displaced. David, now 29, remains one of them. That will change Dec. 30, at least temporarily, when he travels to South Sudan for a four-week reunion with his mother, sister and other loved ones. The trip follows what David describes as a lifetime of isolation. “Most of what

But for Larsen, it’s more than that. “I get a direct, daily sense that I make a difference,” he said. “What I do now is right in front of me, it’s almost immediate all the time.” And that feeling was precisely what Larsen was after when he made a midlife career change more than a decade ago.
