Emily Struck ’23 made the most of her chemistry major at PLU, conducting individualized research with professors and tutoring other students on campus. As she takes her next step in the fall pursuing a Ph.D. in organic chemistry at Purdue University, Struck reflects on her…
that could transport charge and ions to be used on biosensors and be more easily integrated into biological systems, unlike other semiconductors or batteries. Did you appreciate the research experience? Working on my own project in the first lab forced me to learn to take accountability and engage with chemistry on my own. Last year, however, Dr. Waldow was very involved, but I was doing my own thing and diving past polymers into synthesis, which was super fun and challenging. To me, research is

Raphael Lemkin’s dedication to the punishment and prevention of genocide, primarily through international legal intervention, was founded on a belief in the fundamental rights of all peoples.

Logical images of the universe preclude any possible critique of their contents, at least when done right.

While at PLU, Margaret Chell ’18 decided to join the Peace Corps after a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer visited her global development class. She was excited about the idea of putting her global studies major to work to help others. In March of 2020, she…
speak to that other than living in rural areas … and I felt that would be an opportunity to address health disparities, kind of merging health equity and cultural humility,” Chell says. “Also growing up in South Dakota, I felt pretty ignorant to the native nations in my home state. So, I knew it would also be an opportunity to learn a lot more about these marginalized communities.” Chell worked as a health systems coordinator providing a variety of support to the program. This wasn’t the first time

PLU has been involved with social impact work for generations. But like most colleges and universities, our institution doesn't have up-to-the-minute data about which projects are currently active
-shelf systems that we had access to for free on campus. One of the region’s premier social impact incubators, Giving Tech Labs, also provided incredible support and technical guidance. For the project’s data sample, we recorded social impact initiatives and projects that were active between January 1, 2019 and June 1, 2022. Over 175 projects were logged, and this has allowed PLU to understand where social impact work is being carried out. This information will be especially important as we assess

A master’s degree in Kinesiology will enhance the skill set of novice and experienced practitioners in exercise, sport, performance and health related careers. Let’s look into some kinesiology careers you can choose from. Kinesiology is the science of human movement . Kinesiology studies the principles…
the mechanical, physiological, and psychological components of movement. The study of kinesiology involves deep understanding of various biological systems as well as behavioral theories. Many people are introduced to the concept of kinesiology through a sub-field like physical therapy or sports medicine, but kinesiology is the larger umbrella term for the theory and practice of human movement. Let’s talk specifically about options for jobs with a master’s in kinesiology and what responsibilities

are quickly recognized for their beautiful and complex structure, but what are they and how are they generated? The answers to these questions lie within Complex Dynamics, the study of dynamical systems defined by iteration of functions on complex number spaces. In this paper, we seek to understand the Mandelbrot and Julia Sets as well as the Fundamental Dichotomy, which will help us realize the profound connection between the two. 5:00pm – A Tale of Two Topologies Andrew Ringle We introduce the

About two years ago, PLU professor Neva Laurie-Berry partnered with a world-class plant research center. The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis, Mo., sends Laurie-Berry’s BIOL 358 Plant Physiology class millet seeds with random mutations. Student teams study plants in PLU’s warm, sunny…
agriculture and related systems must change to alleviate global hunger,” Laurie-Berry says. Before 2015, the original PLU greenhouse functioned more like an extremely hot sunroom built on a black flat top roof. “It got so hot that everything died,” Laurie-Berry says. “The new greenhouse completely transformed what I could do in that class.” Today’s Carol Sheffels Quigg Greenhouse was built in 2015 and named for a former PLU regent, donor and enthusiastic supporter of science education at PLU.
