Kekkos t-shirts! In my study away trip I also found Dr. Finitsis to be one of the best professors I have ever had. He has an amazing way of caring about and connecting with students, challenging us, and making us laugh. He is what makes PLU feel like home. I also included “Fun” and “Furry Friends” in my video because I think we need to remember the value in connection and community. Visiting the miniature horses of Rhodes was such a fun, unique experience that I don’t think I would have gained

This perspective is, so far as I can tell, true to traditional theistic accounts of faith, and it succeeds in making religious faith important (which, to its adherents, it clearly is) without making it unthinking (which, to perhaps fewer of its adherents, it is not). It retains an understanding of

club you founded at PLU? I started what I describe as a hybrid Global Medical Brigade slash pre-med club. The whole purpose is just to meet and build community with other pre-med students at PLU.

The purpose of that club is just to get like-minded folks together who share similar goals. How specifically does the PLU chapter engage
