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. It has been a beautiful journey, full of leadership opportunities, friendships, challenges, growth, and a

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

they complained to each other that the agenda for the day was too full—it started too early and ended too late.  The man said he was annoyed not to be able to get a chance for a run.  Well, the workshop wound up ending earlier than scheduled that evening; so the woman said to the man, “Maybe you can get your run in now?”  And the man said, “Black men do not run at night in America.”  The woman said that comment gave her a chill up and down her spine—not just due to what it means for black men in

priority enhancements to academic facilities and equipment, and we have continued to perform critical physical plant maintenance. ●      In spite of a difficult economic environment, our fund-raising successes continued. There were more than 10,000 donors to the university last year, that’s more than any time in our history. Progress on our $100 million “Engage the World” campaign was slow in the early months of last year, but a flurry of major gifts over the past six months moved the campaign past the

times.” In early April, Earlywine presented with Travis and other economics students at the National Undergraduate Research Symposium in Oklahoma. He spoke about his capstone on opioid overdose deaths in California, and if prescriptions were the biggest factor. “Are prescriptions of opioids still a main driver of this epidemic because we’ve seen so much diversion into the black market?” Earlywine posited. His research shows the answer is yes — prescriptions are the main force for opioid addiction

When he thinks back to his early days on campus, he found models that needed updating.“We weren’t having, frankly, a lot of these more challenging conversations, particularly when it came to the finance model and the tuition financial aid model,” he says.JULY 2018: PLU Chooses to adopt a test-optional admission

perhaps, I will get a degree in international relations…or another subject all together! While working on my capstone (which focuses on modern Korean history) I have only been more drawn to history and more drawn to Korea in particular.
