. That’s an amazing opportunity to get to do before I’m even out of college.  How did your internship differ from the work you do in the classroom? Often in school, when you’re working with data, it’s very small data sets, but these are really large sets of investment data. It’s good to get experience automating manual processes, which companies with data roles are often looking to do. They want to find out how we can make this process faster and take the human hands out of it, not so that we can

Faculty are very committed to our success in that way.Hispanic & Latino Studies at PLUThe PLU Hispanic & Latino Studies combines the study of the Spanish language with courses in Latin American, Latino, and Iberian literatures, linguistics, and cultural studies.Why did you choose Hispanic Studies as a major? I was lucky enough to experience a dual-immersion school program from kindergarten until 10th grade, spending half of every day learning Spanish

a great shot is challenging. “Orcas can be hard to spot and shoot, while [we’re] being respectful by staying at the required distance,” she says. The process was aided by a large zoom lens and their readiness to drive to a local sighting alert from the Orca Network. “We drove up as quickly as possible, and it worked quite a few times — but they’re fast swimmers.”   For the film, Stafki and her sister interviewed PLU biology professor Michael Behrens, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

She then transitioned her role to student support staff for the volleyball team.“Throughout all of the injuries, she continued to rehab so that she could possibly return to action, and for that, I was in awe at her toughness and persistence,” said PLU Volleyball Coach Kevin Aoki.Iverson explained

that recognize the discernment and labor involved in translation. A good translation is invisible, and so translation tends to be an invisible, underappreciated art. Receiving this prize was also very unexpected.  Unexpected? Why is that? We never thought of our edition of Dupin’s Work on Women primarily as a translation. The translating we did was just one part –by far the funnest part!– of the project. Oh that’s interesting. Can you share a bit about your process putting this book together? First

residents rather than simply meeting antiquated government standards for affordable housing — Juntunen has designed policies to address rapid growth across the West, including in cities like Missoula and Boise. She’s also been able to work on a project closer to PLU: the process of returning Capitol Lake in Olympia to a natural estuary. With the state paying for dam removal and implementing the rebuilding of an estuary, additional sediment is predicted to flow into Budd Inlet. It’s a question of

Students are guided through the process and receive CREP approval by demonstrating transparency in their research. Once enough data have been collected from multiple sites, results are pooled and contributors are encouraged to collaborate on a research paper for publication. In addition, outside investigators

throughout my time at PLU and during the application process to medical school after graduation. I attribute my development as a scientist to Dr. Nervo. I spent two summers researching in her lab, learning an incredible amount, and having a lot of fun. Specific skills such as reading journal articles and interpreting dense figures have helped greatly in medical school. Dave Harvey is one of the biggest reasons I loved rowing at PLU. His coaching helped me develop confidence and approach challenges with

Now, the Bonney Lake, Washington native has graduated and earned a prestigious Fulbright research grant — a national award that only 20 percent of applicants receive after a rigorous, year-long application process. In January, she
