Thus was the birth of Harmony, PLU’s queer-straight alliance group, which still has a strong presence on campus today. Despite the difficult moments, Bannon remembers PLU fondly, and that he wouldn’t change a thing about his college experience. “I couldn’t have imagined

Little did I know, that relationship would develop into the backbone of our company financing, with a large line of credit, term loan and other resources at my disposal. Wow! Talk about taking things directly from the classroom into real life.” Initially, Dilts said, Pyramid Staging helped First & Goal, Inc. with

transferred most of my credits from home. I like that PLU offers a lot of activities and events outside of class and it seems like there is an event for everybody.

The focus in classes is to prepare students for the “real” world, which often means that we have a lot of hand-on projects to keep the classes relevant.

Long Lasting Connections “People from PLU are different,” says Joel Larson, Class of 2000. Each of Joel’s fondest memories from his time at Pacific Lutheran University includes the people he met there. “When you meet people from PLU, you have an instant connection with them,” he says. “Other universities aren’t like that.” After applying to several other universities, including Princeton, Joel’s parents-PLU alumni-encouraged him to spend a weekend on campus. After spending a few great days with

The most powerful pieces of writing, then, contain an infinite complexity—a complexity that’s tangible and undefinable at the same time. And all of this is done in the writer’s solitude, which seems its own mixture of materiality and expansiveness. Even though I believe that a strong piece of writing generates something like magic, I also believe in tough-minded examinations of the thematic and

, 10 months. Life has seemingly come full circle for the performing arts major, who after appearing in a number of plays after graduating from Pacific Lutheran University in 2000, decided in 2008 that it was time to take the plunge and see if he could make it in New York City. So with no prospects and only the promise of a blow up mattress on a friend’s living room in Queens, Hobson left his wife behind and took the risk. And that make all the difference for the Puyallup native. Within a few weeks

actual dancing was quite different from solo to solo. I then worked with the dancers to add nuance and to emphasize certain elements of their dancing.” “The real work of creating a dance is how the specific movements are arranged. For example, a solo is very different from a duet or a trio or a large group. A group of dancers dancing the same movement, at the same time, facing the same direction, is very different than a group of dancers performing completely different movement. So, after working
