Musician turned math major is excited to teach in his community Posted by: vcraker / May 4, 2022 May 4, 2022 Kevin Canady-Pete ’22 has a history with the Pacific Lutheran University campus. He grew up down the street, just a couple of miles from the university. The Franklin Pierce High School graduate came to PLU intending to pursue a music education major. While he enjoyed playing music at PLU, he discovered he had a passion for math. He will graduate this winter with a degree in mathematics

REUs: SPIRAL and SPATIAL-Stats 2023 at Georgetown Posted by: nicolacs / January 30, 2023 January 30, 2023 SPIRAL (Summer Program in Research and Learning) and SPATIAL-Stats (Summer Program Advancing Techniques in the Applied Learning of Statistics) are research experiences for undergraduates (REU) aimed at providing a mentoring structure that promotes active learning and engagement in problems in statistics and mathematics. Undergraduate students in the SPIRAL and SPATIAL-Stats will learn how

hopes of becoming a mental performance consultant, where I see a range of opportunities to work with a diverse array of individuals and groups. Some groups I envision myself working with as a mental performance consultant include youth and professional competition climbers; elite and recreational mountain adventure athletes; and athletes, teams, and coaches in youth sport. What tips would you share with undergraduate students when considering a graduate program? I think first and foremost it is

disciplines such as economics, mathematics and accounting. “Larger university faculties may not be able to coordinate across these disciplines like we do,” Boeh said. The masters program targets new and recent graduates, and is an intensive program that will take 10 months to complete, rather than the more traditional two years for an MBA, he said. Because of the small class size that is traditional at PLU, professors will have the opportunity to focus on the individual, he noted. The PLU MSF aligns
