majors, letters of recommendation, deadlines, etc.) You will need 3 (three) letters of recommendation for Columbia: 1) A letter from the PLU Liaison (that’s me); 2) 1 letter from a Math professor; 3) 1 letter from a Physics professor. (Preferably, this should be from someone different from me, although if you don’t have any other good option, I’ll inquire if I am allowed to provide 2 letters — as a liaison and as a physics professor.) For those of you who are going to apply this cycle, you should

from passionate faculty. It was a coincidence that found Zee studying in Tacoma. His parents had wished their son to have the advantages of an overseas education, but worried what may come of him “without close supervision,” he joked. As it happened, PLU physics professor K.T. Tang visited Hong Kong (Zee was a student at the high school where Tang had once studied) and made an impression on Zee and his parents. “They thought that if I studied physics in Tacoma, Professor Tang could keep an eye on

calculus-based physics sequence are good fits for the minor. Even if students do not choose a degree or a minor in engineering, PLU physics graduates have successfully pursued engineering studies in graduate school.
