. In my piece, you will immediately hear two contrasting and opposing themes (the first in the woodwinds and percussion, the second in the brass). The themes are metrically polarized and in harmonically incompatible modes. Whereas a more conventional composition might develop the music by combining the themes, these two are like oil and water, and despite a third, more lyrical theme trying to mediate them, they persist in separate spheres until they are pushed together and thrown into conflict

 experiments. Each day, I would either write up a new lab protocol, attempt to replicate a previous experiment’s results, or analyze data. I usually stayed until around 7 p.m., then collected my things, and biked home. When I started, I did one day of online lab safety training and then moved into shadowing for a few days. By the end of my first week, I had been given multiple lines of MOLM-13 acute myeloid leukemia cells. During my second week, I was preparing and running an assay to measure senescence in

Clinical Learning and Simulation Center, and the second floor Open Lab, used for both chemistry and physics lab instruction, in the Rieke Science Center. “These renovations will have a significant impact on learning and research,” says Auman. “They will allow for more mobility and interaction between students and faculty, as well as more hands-on learning for students that will set them up for being better prepared for their careers in science and healthcare.” MEETING CAMPUS – AND COMMUNITY – NEEDS“The

– a lot. They’ve been able to adjust the scope of their project, and as the second semester begins, they’ve started prototyping their robot and the implementation phase. This is where Kakar comes in. He likes to talk about “cracking the whip” – he even likes to pantomime the motion. He does it with a smile, but everyone gets the picture. This opportunity to work so closely with their professor is so valuable – Kakar is just as passionate about guiding the students through the capstone as the

educational tradition of working for issues of justice and tolerance. According to Professor Emeritus of History Philip Nordquist’s ’56 second book documenting the history of PLU “Inquiry, Service, Leadership and Care: Pacific Lutheran University 1988-2008,” faculty members were already studying and teaching about the Holocaust as soon as the 1950s. But when Christopher Browning began his tenure as professor in PLU’s history department in 1974, he brought with him a renewed interest in the subject

family. Second, we are all Norwegians tonight because our most sacred and important principles and values have been attacked, and, for a moment, the foundation of our civilized democratic nations has been shaken. For you see, that foundation begins with our shared beliefs in the sanctity of human life itself, in the intrinsic worth and value of every person, in the beauty of difference, in the richness and diversity of God’s creation, and, hence, in our common responsibility to nurture, and never

-square-foot greenhouse on the second floor of the Rieke Science Center, constructed with the building in 1985. This greenhouse is not adequate for proper instruction, Smith said: It has no climate control, so temperatures reach up to 120º during summer days; it is not large enough for classes; and it is not accessible to students. In December 2010, PLU hired an external consultant who advised that a new greenhouse would be far more fiscally responsible than attempting to fix the current one. Smith

Chinese for 25 years in Tacoma, and that I just happened to be in the right role as Chair at the right time to welcome the president of China. It is nice to know that, after 25 years of studying a country and civilization, I actually have learned some things and put them to good use in the world. It is also proof that learning does not end with graduation from college—many things are learned beyond college and can turn into second careers. My only concern, and I will take this up with the cosmic

other fees at PLU and she will also be provided with a monthly stipend for living expenses.As a recipient of the scholarship, May will be commissioned as a second Lieutenant in the Nurse Corps and placed on inactive reserve status until the completion of her PLU degree. She is also required to attend a summer officer-training course in Alabama for six weeks. While on inactive reserve status, May will gain rank yearly and once complete with her schooling she will enter active duty as a captain. May

through the online program they were learning at Sylvester Middle School in Burien. “Mr. Wade! Mr. Wade! I need your help,” a few chimed in from different corners of the room.Wade, alongside longtime teacher Darrell Chase, calmly commanded the classroom as though he had done it for years. Yet, the 38-year-old is in his second year of teaching, and he credits his immediate success to the intense preparation at Pacific Lutheran University through the Alternative Routes to Certification (ARC) program
