science major who spent his senior year interning at NASA. Ronquillo was prepping during J-Term, so he and Uehara had to practice virtually. “Technical interviews are very challenging,” Caley said. “They give you a programming prompt to solve this problem, and then you write the code to solve that problem. Adrian did a ton of coding early on to prepare and he got really good at them.” Caley was so impressed with Ronquillo’s work ethic that he decided to mirror the way he teaches his students to apply

off and on since the early 80’s, in a variety of settings. I’ve had some career detours from teaching, like, coaching a swim team, and owning a biker bar, and being a rural librarian, and a few other wacky things. I follow my curiosity. Through it all, I have been a prolific maker, I have documented my stories and adventures. My work can be found in over 90 public collections and art museums throughout the world, including the Victoria and Albert, the Library of Congress, The Getty Research

interest to academic communities is the announcement that Amazon will fund Alexa research projects in universities through an Alexa Fund Fellowship program that is in its early stages. The first selection of academic institutions includes Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, USC, and the University of Waterloo. While it is my expectation that the Alexa Fund team will look to support research at leading Computer Science programs (adding places like MIT, UC Berkeley, Cambridge, and the University of

He knew he needed to do a bunch of leak code problems. He knew he needed to have a portfolio and a website. And he did all these things in his capstone.” Ronquillo also worked on updating

changing, whether you come from Oregon, Montana or New Jersey, you leave behind family and friends to dive into the world of the unknown. More so being International, dealing with a new culture, food and in my case loss of warmth. Mom, if you could have seen me, early October students still in tank tops, capris, playing Frisbee on the lawns and I, bundled from head to toe––freezing. So you may ask: so what’s new? All students experience an adjustment to college, wherever you are from; wherever you go

to e-mail them regularly, share ideas and findings, and collaborate on research and writing projects. After French scholar Ivan Jablonka and I met in Sweden, we began e-mailing about the idea of collaborating on a comparative history of early 20th-century adoption institutions. Similarly, several Australian and Canadian researchers and I are planning to present papers on various international aspects of adoption at the forthcoming 5th Biennial Conference on the History Childhood and Youth in

acquaintances and friends. Waller recalled the opportunities he’s had to interview those on the “front-lines” of genocide—the people who actually do the killing, he said. From these interviews, Waller described murderers who were not “dead behind their eyes,” or psychotic as many people assume, but instead regular people:  someone’s son, sometimes a member of faith. Waller stressed early on in his speech that “it’s ordinary people like you and I who commit this type of extraordinary evil.” He reminded the

Froschauer) Tegels, university organist and music professor, humbly underscores his efforts of sustainable living, saying he doesn’t have to go out of his way to do the right thing. “I don’t live far from campus, so it’s not that much of an effort,” he said. “It seems like the right thing to do that you take care of the Earth.” A native of the Netherlands, Tegels hails from a small town in the southeastern part of the region, called Ottersum. He developed an affinity for music early in life, learning the

Stars. He played there a year and then played semi-professional soccer with the Premier Arena Soccer League’s Tacoma Galaxy, helping the team win the 2014 Northwest Division Title in its inaugural season. In between, in early 2013, Croft accepted the Bellevue College job. When the Impact FC held player tryouts, Croft didn’t go—but he didn’t need to. Instead, he sent a resume. Impact FC owner Dion Earl, a former Sounders and SeaDogs player, called Croft personally—and signed him. Croft said there

After word got out about his photos and he started getting emails from editors about using his images, Ebi realized his work stood out and turned it
