get to do theoretical research,” Underwood said. “I’ve been very hands-off. I would say, ‘This is what we need to think about; go and see if you can get this to work,’ so Auberry would go off. It’s a great opportunity for them to get involved in research, exercise their curiosity, really become part of the scientific community.” Fortuner carried out 15 to 20 different scenarios, or hypothetical universes, over the course of the summer. To the researchers’ surprise, each scenario ended with

. Although this theoretical distinction is questionable, it remains a useful model of what happens in foreign language teaching; the language teacher is in the position of trying to teach langue, when in fact only parole is ever possible.  The image of language presented in the classroom is also that of a neutral, value-free tool of communication. Some linguists would argue, however, that language is always ideologically charged. In its most general expression, this idea builds on the Whorf-Sapir theory

re-emit energy in the form of light. Jenny Stein ’13 is hoping her time in the lab looking at small glowing crystals will eventually lead to a job researching solar energy. The glowing crystals are called colloidal quantum dots, and Stein has been studying their capacity to absorb and re-emit energy in the form of light. “I really do like the whole concept of renewable energy and applying this to solar cells,” she said. Stein entered PLU with hopes of going to medical school but then switched to

interpersonal effectiveness, gain the ability to collaborate across diverse perspectives, and become motivated toward conscientious community action.Students who participate in civic engagement learn more academic content through application of theoretical concepts to action.  This causes students to shift from being knowledge receivers to idea creators. Abstract concepts come into relief against the background of real situations and context. Furthermore, civically engaged students learn higher-order skills

T-Mobile was my first career experience and gave me a taste of what it is like to work on a team in industry and also to start learning some of the more practical and less theoretical things. The T-Mobile internship was about learning “the cloud” and to think like a development engineer. Later, my full-time job at PLU was about automation and platform architecture and planning, most often by
