When you were a PLU student, what drew you toward the emerging field of computer science? I came to PLU planning to be a math teacher and a basketball coach, but I was forced to rethink that plan when I got into my second semester of calculus.

It’s a consistent indicator of how many students will progress to graduation. RPAG is part of a university-wide effort to improve PLU’s progression and retention rates.
