In between, in early 2013, Croft accepted the Bellevue College job. When the Impact FC held player tryouts, Croft didn’t go—but he didn’t need to. Instead, he sent a resume. Impact FC owner Dion Earl, a former Sounders and SeaDogs player, called Croft personally—and signed him. Croft said there

very early age. In high school, I wasn’t interested in science and was an average student in the subject. However, after taking a few geoscience courses from PLU professors Steven Benham and Duncan Foley, my outlook on science changed. I became deeply passionate about geosciences, almost to the point of switching my major. In the end, I found the best route was a mix of teaching and geosciences. You’ve been lauded for your use of technology in the classroom, specifically regarding the blended

It isn’t easy to find housing, so be aware of that and start searching early if your internship does not provide any accommodations. Other than that, internships like this usually give you what you put into them. Also, make sure

interest to academic communities is the announcement that Amazon will fund Alexa research projects in universities through an Alexa Fund Fellowship program that is in its early stages. While it is my expectation that the Alexa Fund team will look to support research at leading Computer Science programs such as MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, UC Berkeley, Cambridge (UK), Seoul National University, and the University of Washington, I’m hopeful that research projects will also be funded in associated

as “innocent” and “pure” icons in art but the impressionistic nature of children shows that they have been used in history as pawns and even catalyst themselves of conflicts. I have extended my research to include and compare historical altercations outside of the United States that have heavily involved civilian children such as the Holocaust in Germany and the conflict in Derry, Ireland. To be able to process and get perspective when studying such dark history, I try to never forget to escape
