microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and computational methods to study materials and molecules at interfaces. All students will also take part in a professional development and ethics training program, with a focus on science communication and preparation for graduate school or industrial careers. Through independent research projects and the workshop and seminar series, this site seeks to broaden the participation in STEM. Preference will be given to applications received by March 1st. We strongly encourage

the broad disciplines of polymer science and polymer engineering, including chemistry, physics, engineering, and biomaterials.  These interns will take part in research and career development activities, discussions outlining their research progress and visits to regional companies.  The summer will culminate with an oral or poster presentation of each intern’s research results at the Northeast Ohio NSF-REU Undergraduate Research Conference. Support for this 9-week summer 2021 program includes a

hundreds. So how did this mature 19-year-old man, who grew up in places best described as “you can’t get there from here,” end up at Pacific Lutheran University, let alone playing for the resurgent Lutes men’s basketball program? The story starts with his father, Stephen ’83, a PLU graduate and one of eight children of Dr. Richard Klein, a PLU regent from 1973-87, and Joanne (Bjork ’63) Klein. Stephen took his first teaching job at the high school in Gambell, Alaska, a village of 300 inhabitants on the

experiments. Each day, I would either write up a new lab protocol, attempt to replicate a previous experiment’s results, or analyze data. I usually stayed until around 7 p.m., then collected my things, and biked home. When I started, I did one day of online lab safety training and then moved into shadowing for a few days. By the end of my first week, I had been given multiple lines of MOLM-13 acute myeloid leukemia cells. During my second week, I was preparing and running an assay to measure senescence in

millions of dollars worth of research and prevention programs throughout the world. The list of such new “global health” projects goes on and on, with new ones coming on line all the time. But success always brings with it the seeds of failure. There are lots of reasons why these attempts to improve the health of the world’s poorest might fail. There are just as many reasons to hope they succeed, if only because failure on this front would be to accept ongoing tragedy and disenfranchisement for one

. It is an identity molded from without. If transposed to the educational front, one might construe professional education in a parallel fashion, as the imbuing of factual knowledge and skills requisite for a career within a particular professional group. In this sense, an English course that might be based upon learning and using the bibliographic guidelines of the Modern Language Association would have a professional orientation. And a language course designed primarily to prepare students for

entries being included in the book Operation Homecoming: Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Home Front in the Worlds of U.S. Troops and Their Families (Random House, 2006). A few of Hrivnak’s journal entries also appeared in the New Yorker in 2006. Subsequently, a few of the entries, including his, were made into the documentary Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience (2007) which went on to be nominated for several awards. It was nominated, but didn’t win, for an Academy Award for Best

that they decided to create a list to keep track of it all. “We just have a list of to-do things that we’ve started crossing off,” said Heinecke. “I’m not normally a list person but I’m okay with it, since none of it’s stuff we have to do – it’s stuff we want to do.” Check out the official Tacoma to-do list from Frank and Jill.

Shumaker interacted directly with soldiers in the field, transferring them in and out, bringing supplies and locating enemies from the air for the front forces. He was part of history. “I wanted to be able to have the biggest effect possible,” said Shumaker, 38, who’s now a junior studying Political Science at Pacific
