aqueous geochemistry and/or geothermal exploration. Enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research and cultivation of new collaborations will be an asset in the position. We are seeking a person with a commitment to excellence in teaching at a predominately undergraduate institution, collegiality and flexibility to meet the needs of our students and the program, and a dedication to establishing a field-based research program that engages students. Teaching responsibilities will include hydrogeology, an

and environmentally sustainable agriculture. Laurie-Berry started teaching at PLU in the fall of 2008. In addition to Plant Physiology, Laurie-Berry’s other classes include Plant Development and Genetic Engineering and a first-year writing class focused on global agriculture, world hunger, genetic engineering and related topics. “Our central question for the course is how agriculture and related systems must change to alleviate global hunger,” Laurie-Berry says.Before 2015, the original PLU

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.

having a facility now that can showcase not only a plant collection but also give students the best place to be able to carry out experiments that involve plants,” said Associate Professor of Biology and Dean of Natural Sciences Matt Smith. The state-of-the-art greenhouse will use an innovative, closed-loop geothermal energy system, which means that no greenhouse-gas-producing emissions will be used to heat and cool the building, and it also will fulfill curricular needs in the Biology Department

environment is “an important part of PLU’s DNA,” he added. This commitment to sustainability intertwines seamlessly with PLU’s commitment to social justice and diversity, he said. Several of the future goals for PLU include incorporating a carbon offset for air travel by 2014 and using more geothermal energy in the halls and buildings. During the ceremony, it was announced that Hinderlie Hall won this fall’s unPLUg challenge to reduce energy consumption by 16 percent, when compared with last year’s

wholeheartedly embracing solar power, geothermal energy, wind turbines and other renewable power sources. “The fact that almost all their energy — I think 98 percent of it, at this point — is running on those things was just crazy to see,” Evanishyn said. “That just really impressed me with the resilience factor and the possibility of a green future. So many times in studying environmental stuff, it’s easy to feel hopeless and see how slow change comes — especially in countries like the U.S. So being in

Pacific Lutheran University and its service providers strive to maintain an atmosphere in which learning and research flourish. Essential to realizing this goal are electronic communications, administrative information systems, network services, and other electronic resources provided by the university. Essential, too, is that PLU community members are secure, safe, and free from harassment in their use of these systems. To this end, members of the PLU community should have no expectation of

Spring 2017 Venue Upgrades Posted by: Jenna S / May 12, 2017 May 12, 2017 by John Struzenberg After Before Spring is a time for renewal, cleaning, and most importantly: technology upgrades. PLU has been humming away this spring and the same is true for the folks in classroom and event technologies. As the systems around campus get older, the ability to rely on and service those systems diminishes. This is where our upgrades come in. Two spaces in particular were identified as “on their last
