language impacts cultural and personal memory. Set in Pakistan in the early 2000s, the novel follows Alys Binat and her sisters as they navigate the marriage market, female identity, and British and Pakistani influences on their self-expression. Kamal translates “What will people say?” into Urdu: ” کہیںگے/ Log kya kahenge” (35).

college tour, turning to my mom and saying, “This is where I’m supposed to be. I don’t care what it takes, I want to go here.” After I was accepted through early admission, I never applied anywhere else because I knew this was where I was supposed to be, and I have never questioned that.   My PLU experience: My PLU experience has been a whirlwind, how I got to graduation this fast is beyond me.

instead lie there, relaxing, your thoughts punctuated by unexpected visits from friends or the flight of one of the many bird species who make their homes in these trees, in this grass, breathing this air. One day, on this path, you will be walking with someone you’ve come to know and respect as both a professor and a human being during your four years here. The early spring sun that cuts through the cold will be shining, and he will tell you how much you’ve grown up. Enjoy your time here and take all

never fully recovered. Driving through this run-down community, Day’s assertions that water does not care what happens when it escapes the river’s banks. Stopping only to grab some quick b-roll, we powered through Cairo and on to New Orleans. With an interview early the next morning we spent the drive drafting questions, reviewing previous interviews and sorting out the stories we had collected so far.

Destiny.No matter how early Belton drives to work, South Tacoma Way is brightly lit by street lights, bus stops, and electronic business signs. Once he visits his coffee shop, he turns on 112th Street South and heads toward campus. A strange thing happens when he crosses the Tacoma city boundary and enters unincorporated Parkland: the lights go out. “I started noticing middle and high school kids walking to school in total darkness,” Belton says. “There are no street lights, no sidewalks, and very few

moderated Should we be looking at attracting students to certain majors over others?We tend to recruit fewer students who know early what they plan to major in (I think we’re at about 10% of students who come in as first-year students with a clear plan for a major).  I’ve been at institutions where 90% come in with a major decided already.  I think a mix is good, although I’m not sure we as an institution have a clear idea of what the exact mix should be. *Note: All comments are moderated We can attract

their migration route. Evidently, sometime during the 1917 fall migration, mutating bird virus infected pigs who in turn sickened Kansas farmers. In early February, 1918 a country physician west of Dodge City noted a dramatic uptick of influenza cases of an unusually virulent nature.  Young, healthy patients were struck down quickly, many of them dying.  Soon, area doctors were swamped with sick and dying flu patients.  Then, as suddenly as the influenza storm began, in March the epidemic was over

the sudsiness that renders Bridgerton so satisfying.” Bridgerton is a shorthand, it turns out, for a couple of related concerns. Style first and foremost: the visual cues that signal Regency and a very specific kind of Regency—no destitute, desperate people stealing chickens in these productions as there are in the Kate Beckinsdale Emma from 1996. Attitude, second of all, then. Bridgerton is about the self-conscious collision of yesterday and today, the past and the present, Regency and early 21st

modeled Rilke’s wisdom was the great Norwegian anthropologist and explorer Thor Heyerdahl.  In 1939, he was conducting research along the coast of British Columbia in a effort to understand the northern Pacific ocean currents, when he as called home because WW II had broken out in Europe.  In 1998, 59 years later, and at age 83, Heyerdahl came to be our PLU commencement speaker, and he arrived three days early so that he could visit BC and continue his research.  Heyerdahl personified our great human
