business administration undergrad currently working on his Master of Science in Finance, agrees: “I chose Fast Track because I could rest assured that I had made it into the program ahead of time. Originally I was not dead-set on doing graduate work, but the simplicity of the Fast Track made it a smaller decision overall.” Perhaps at its core, the best way to describe Fast Track is as a leg up for students from all academic backgrounds who are considering graduate school.

— with that, my college ultimate career was over. And I cried. That sort of hot, ugly cry that wells up inside you and just blubbers out in waves. I just kept thinking that this was the last time I would wear this jersey for my team, the last time my teammates and best friends would play together, the last time cheering and chanting, and my whole college career is ending. It was very dramatic. “I think nationals represented not just hard work and determination but a culmination of your guys’ dreams

He’s an eclectic man who’s successfully tried his hand at newspapers, computers and ice

and I applied for the show just for the experience of doing it. I honestly never thought about what it would be like once it aired. How have you enjoyed living abroad? Was it a challenging adjustment for yourself or your children? I love living in Australia. I wish we had moved sooner. The work-life balance is completely in line with our lifestyle. Paul and I have always been up for an adventure and seeking out new life experiences together — we have moved 12 times in the last 10 years between

My goal is to definitely work more on my mental health, make sure that I’m doing good. Because being an RA and doing full time school can be a bit busy, especially with adding a minor to my major. It’s a lot! I’m definitely prioritizing my mental health and getting through this school year.” -Ceci Omri ’24, Resident Assistant English Major “It’s a

what I will do next. I could go into church music ministry or academia or become a music editor. I hope to take a few years to work and then attend graduate school.  My motto in life is to live your life and appreciate it. Life is too short to be worried about “what if” or “what could have been.” There is always a concern with making money as a musician. If I wanted to be rich, I would never have chosen music.

in a campus bone marrow registry drive organizers dubbed “Get in The Game. Save a Life.” Registration was simple. Participants swabbed the inside of their cheeks and the swabs were sent off to the Be The Match Registry, a database dedicated to finding matches for patients in need. The idea for the drive at PLU started with football Coach Brant McAdams, who learned about the work being done by the Andy Talley Bone Marrow Foundation. Since its founding in 2010, the Talley Foundation has worked with
