nursing students. Also on its way is a maternal and neonatal birthing simulator, complete with newborn Hal. As the name suggests, the wireless patients will help nursing students simulate the childbirth process and possible complications. The remodel includes the addition of a learning resource center that features four computer stations for licensure examination reviews and audiovisual materials. “Our challenge now becomes developing instructors who can maximize the new learning opportunities

starts appearing on the computer. To an untrained eye, the readouts seem like random squiggles and blobs. But the frequencies mean quite a bit to the chemists. It tells them – on a molecular level – how atoms comprising a molecule are bonded together and what parts of the molecule are in motion with respect to the other parts of the molecule. On a more basic scale, it will help them decipher the compound they are looking at. Some solid samples need to spun inside the magnet at nearly the speed of

for student-faculty research and student-faculty collaboration,” Tonn said. “We just didn’t have that kind of space before.” It provides for academic programs that require a higher level of technology such as mathematics, computer science and business, which previously had limited technology available to them. The renovation of Xavier Hall did the same thing for social science programs: improved teaching space, collaborative space and improved infrastructure and technology. The building was

. Many of the students are mathematic, computer science and physics majors. Working in teams and a addressing problems outside the context of textbooks is how they’ll be using their skills after graduation, Case said. They won’t know who won the competition until later this spring, but the experience is reward enough. Nicole Pennington, first year, thought one of the great challenges and exciting aspects of the contest was the students had to come up with the tools they needed to build the model

Communication Officer direct access to the building’s floor plans,” Premo said. “We can tell the floor and the building and fill in emergency contacts. “ Premo said all Campus Safety staff and student workers have been trained on the system. During a test run of one of the units in Olson, the computer monitor above Campus Safety Officer Shawn Thompson flashed a can’t-miss “request for help” notification. So far this year, Premo said, no one has activated the system for real—but the outdoor speakers are

student scholarships. The remaining money will fund new curricular and co-curricular support programs for these students. The grant will fund programs designed to eliminate disparities in graduation and retention rates between low-income students and their peers who study biology, chemistry, computer science, geosciences, mathematics, physics, and engineering. Small-group mentoring with trained faculty will connect students with resources and experiences, provide guidance and promote confidence as

offerings this August, 2021, will include three artificial intelligence computer science courses with pathways to the Microsoft AI Engineer and IBM Applied AI Professional certifications. PLU’s Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Joanna Gregson, views the partnership as “being in line with the university’s strategic plan for extending PLU’s reach through new online programs that meet workforce development needs and career exploration.” Provost Gregson’s perspective is echoed by
