green building and renovation practices, Ojala-Barbour knew there was always more to do. “I realized PLU wasn’t doing all it could for the native area, but there was a network of people who could,” he said. But he also learned about many people who have been active in preserving green spaces in the area. One of those people was Fred L. Tobiason, a former chemistry professor at PLU. “I’d be talking to other people and they’d say ‘have you talked to Fred Tobiason?’” Ojala-Barbour recalled. “He sort of

I really enjoyed helping the Thorniley Collection find a new home at PLU. I made a giant carousel book for the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, which my husband Buzz helped me with.

Last year, more than 800 Lutes enjoyed an evening at the ballpark. In preparation for an even bigger crowd, the Office of Alumni and Constituent Relations has purchased even more tickets, with the plan of taking over Cheney Stadium.

The program’s skill set overlaps a lot with what national studies show are the skills that employers are most looking for. The minor also requires that we work in diverse teams with students from other disciplines, which is nice given that most of time we history majors stick to ourselves (or maybe cross-train with others in Social Sciences). I feel that I am learning to sell ideas

For each of them, it was a great way for their students to see them outside of the lecture halls, Halvorson said. “Students tend to think you don’t have a life away from campus,” Anderson said. “For me it’s a good way to demonstrate I’m not the scary guy they think I am, just because I teach statistics,” Grahe said.

He’d like to see other students have that opportunity. “PLU is a unique place,” Cammock said. “I don’t think mature is the right word, but it just provided the right ground for transitioning into adulthood.” One of the experiences he had while a student at PLU
