  • Pacific Lutheran University alumna Jessica Anderson ’07 is passionate about education, geosciences and technology, and has combined all three to become an award-winning educator.

    of building relationships.” – Jessica Anderson ’07You’ve been lauded for your use of technology in the classroom, specifically regarding the blended learning model you use. How did you start down this particular path as an educator? I started with my physics students, creating lessons online on a learning management site and having them complete assignments within a window of time. This was great, because I knew students could take more ownership of their learning and self-manage their progress

Hoagland’s senior capstone project focused on FBI crime statistics using information collected throughout the past 30 years. His project, titled “How Victim Offender Relationship Correlates with Weapon Use and Homicides,” examined trends in homicides and murder circumstances. “I’m not going to be the guy on ‘FBI’s Most Wanted’ talking about

  • Why Study Physics?Physics is the scientific study of the material universe at its most fundamental level. A physicist might study the inner workings of atoms and nuclei, the size and age of the universe, the behavior of high-temperature superconductors, or the life cycles of stars, from their formation out of interstellar gases to their end-states as pulsars or black holes. Physicists use high-energy accelerators to search for quarks; they design new laser systems for applications in medicine
