-long private flute sessions with Jennifer Rhyne, affiliate artist and senior lecturer in flute. Even now, Rottle cites Rhyne on her website, and it would appear the impact is mutual. “Jodie has the magical combination of not only being very talented but, more importantly, being highly intelligent and hard-working,” Rhyne said. “She takes advantage of every opportunity presented to her, which is a necessity in the music business.” Rottle made her mark onstage at PLU, too. “There are several

But ARC prepared the husband and father of three with a rigorous education, Wade said, all without disrupting his life outside PLU. The former small business owner said he always, in the back of his mind, considered becoming a teacher. PLU made that distant thought a reality. “I really felt that was the best fit,” he said.

Park’s involvement at Franklin Pierce was broad and extensive. During her senior year alone, she served as the president of school’s Future Business Leaders of America chapter, treasure of senior class leadership, editor of the Key Club Social Bulletin and vice president of

Then begins the business of hopefully maintaining stability, improving overall function and working on achieving life goals — that’s where the intensive therapy focus comes in. That first year at PLU is all about assessment, diagnosis, psychopharmacology and patient care management. In the second year the students study family therapy, then group therapy, and then 1:1 therapy over a six-month

-percent clean electricity bill in the nation, toxic pollution clean-up reform, and a suite of clean water, orca, and Puget Sound protection bills. × × Can you share a bit more about that clean electricity bill? It sounds really exciting. I’m particularly proud of the 100-percent clean electricity bill because it was passed by a coalition of labor, business, communities of color, and environmental advocates and sets the standard for the strongest 100-percent clean electricity bill in the nation both in
