. The two were up late one night discussing the idea of using electronic tracks with acoustic players.“A few months later, Peter contacted me saying that he had been thinking about our conversation and inquired if I might be interested in organizing a commission. After talking some business and options for how the work might be funded, we decided to try a “crowd source” approach by setting a low buy in for institutions and encouraging many. So I went to work to drum up interest. I am proud to say

, either in law or with a business focus. “It’s taking what you learn in the classroom and pitting it against real life,” Cooper said. “You have to want to be here though. What you learn you can’t put a price on.” For the PLU students they felt they had a strong grasp of political theory and even the practice of public policy, but how that applies to real life was new to them. Decisions about what is important, what is the priority and how to pay for it, certainly changed some of their perspectives

-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

How did a sophomore student from the West Coast get an internship with NASA in Maryland? I wanted to apply for something NASA-related since my first year at PLU. My original plan in early high school was to do something business-related because I like math. I always had a soft spot for astronomy. I just didn’t know what I could do with it. I eventually took a physics

diagnosis and a treatment plan to stabilize the acute symptoms/problems that brought them to treatment. 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

From what I hear from friends and the general public, I probably wouldn’t have the same opportunity elsewhere, at other schools. I’m thankful for those connections and the guidance that comes along with that. My Hispanic Studies major and two minors—in business and Holocaust and genocide studies— speaks to the global education PLU provides. I’m really happy with

People aren’t staying at the same job for 30 years,” Bell said. With the advent of the 401(k), people need to take charge of their own financial solvency, he added. “I really value how people see the world differently and enjoy the challenge of finding ways to win together,” Bell said. “If we’re tailoring a portfolio, for
