The most striking example of this is Anne’s account of how she has been, first, keeping track of Wentworth’s whereabouts, and second, showing off her mementoes of their earlier courtship. She shows a “playlist,” a collection of sheet music he had given her eight years ago. This wording, and the physical memento, are out of time because the term “playlist” used to refer to “a list of songs or pieces of music to be played” was

It is clear she looks at this type of collaboration in the same way a natural science professor in Rieke Science Center might look at a student–faculty research project. It is for this reason Sweger is so quick to let the students learn the light

Some were originally resettled in Tacoma, while others were invited to move by Bantu families already in Tacoma. Those families came from Texas, Utah and even New York as part of a “second migration,” Fisher said. Despite the tutoring obstacles, the experience has been extremely rewarding, Baumer said. The younger children are adorable and

Michael’s and my team would climb mountains rising up to 2,000 feet above the ice surface to collect samples from glacial deposits. Due to difficult travel conditions across rock and snow, most days we would walk less than five miles. The second team would spend the day on snowmobiles dragging an ice-penetrating radar system to identify features beneath the ice surface

It’s estimated that as much as 20 percent, with estimates ranging as high as 30 percent, of all the art treasures in Europe were stolen by the Nazis during WWII, Mathews said.

They’ve connected with the university’s Center for Community Engagement and Service to offer adult English as a Second Language programming. They also are working with other long-running PLU programs that are connected with Keithley and Washington, like Big Buddies. “This is an important collaboration between Parkland and PLU,” Rogers

At the moment, his end goal is to teach English and find a way to incorporate literature and film in the classroom.  While his time at PLU challenged him, Horn suspects it’s only the beginning.
