your internship? It is a full-time job. I work about 40 hours a week. It is a heavy workload, but it is also fun, so it doesn’t feel like work. We are making a simulation for small satellites. I work remotely for the Langley Research Center in Virginia, and my mentor there has really helped me with making connections while working virtually. The three-hour difference in time zones is a bit of a challenge, but it is manageable. One of my biggest takeaways from working with NASA is the importance of

humanities, connections encouraged by the interdisciplinary arm of the contest. The Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications also hosts the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)—the “pure math” side of the competition. This year the simultaneous contests drew 20,000 teams and played out at thousands of locations across twenty-one countries. At PLU, the ultramarathon-style drama unfolds in the Morken Center for Learning and Technology, where, this year Duffy, Madeline and Matthew listened to the

He is founder and chairman of the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center, and the author of the memoir, “I’m No Hero: Journeys of a Holocaust Survivor.” “We must not allow the memory of what happened to six million Jews disappear,” he said. “As a survivor, I desire and long to forget what our lives were like during the

All five will be featured in the NAFSA report Internationalizing the Campus 2009: Profiles of the Success at Colleges and Universities, which will be published this fall. The awardees will be recognized at a May 29 ceremony in Los Angeles. “For me, it’s a significant validation of the work that people have been doing on campus for a long time,” said Professor Neal Sobania, executive director of the Wang Center for International Programs. “And that’s to

-walled laboratory at the Rieke Science Center on lower campus. Rebuilding the north side of Rieke to support the unique device – including Professor Dean Waldow’s “science on display” glass enclosure – brought the NMR cost to more than $1 million, all of which was paid for by sources outside the university. Eventually, the group sees not only students using the machine for student-faculty research, but local community and four-year colleges bringing samples over as well. The chemistry faculty members

limonene are almost identical, except for the fact that their building blocks connect to each other in slightly different ways. The results are molecules that are structurally similar, but their scent is radically different: Pinene and limonene smell like pine and citrus. “Nature is using the same building blocks, but in slightly different configurations,” he said. This type of instruction doesn’t just happen in the chemistry classrooms of Rieke Science Center. It is also happening in PLU’s dining
