Get Started Related Programs: Biology Business Chemistry Education Exercise & Sport Psychology Nursing Physics Pre-Health Sciences Psychology As a future physical therapist/occupational therapist, the PLU Kinesiology department has given me a great base foundation of my field. It has let me dip into all different aspects from biomechanics analysis, psychology and physiology that specifically focused on exercise. It has given

physics using curve fitting, difference and differential equations, simulations, discrete probabilistic models, and other methods. In addition to mathematical techniques, the formulation and analysis of models and the interpretation of mathematical results in context are also emphasized. Students will have a chance to work on a project of their choosing and to build writing skills. Prerequisites: MATH 245 or 253 and one of MATH 331, 351, or PHYS 354.

music from various religious traditions. Those visuals transform into a marriage of fluttering lines that dance on the pages, illuminated with gold trimmings and vibrant colors. The sound waves of psalms run horizontal; those of the other traditions — Islamic, Jewish, Native American and more — run vertical. Together, they create an inclusive tapestry of sound that you see rather than hear. The idea is to honor the physics of sound, which reverberates through the universe forever. For me, thinking

gain valuable mentorship through professional development workshops and close collaboration with professors. This summer was no different, as 31 students assisted faculty from the biology, chemistry, computer science, geosciences, mathematics and physics departments in a variety of research endeavors. Each year, the students present their findings from the 10-week program, and collect $4,500. Here is a collection of some of this year’s participants, who were selected through a competitive

Online survey Mimi Granlund, ’13, an analytics manager at Alaska Airlines, first visited the company as a PLU senior on a career exploration trip. “Aviation was never on the radar for me,” said Granlund, who majored in math, physics and art. But after the visit, she spotted a job posting for an internship, took advantage of that opportunity, and “fell in love with the work.” Fast-forward six years to Spring Break 2019 — and Mimi was now one of the PLU alumni hosting current students

A computer science major minoring in mathematics and physics, Scheel graduated magna cum laude. “I am proud that I was able to excel in both school and sports,” he says. “But the success that I am most proud of is my growth as a leader.” He’s been a trip leader and director with Outdoor Recreation, part of the admissions team, a

How did you start down this particular path as an educator? I started with my physics students, creating lessons online on a learning management site and having them complete assignments within a window of time. This was great, because I knew students could take more ownership of

named the Montana Teacher of the Year and received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching. Each year, the Montana Teacher of the Year program recognizes a teacher who exemplifies the best in the teaching profession. It is the highest honor a Montana teacher can receive. Prior to taking a position as a virtual instructional coach, Anderson taught earth science, chemistry and physics at Powell County High School in Deer Lodge, and oceanography online through the Montana

and this is what he picked. It’s a little cheesy he says, and cant help but to think that the world could use a little more cheesy. I am supposed to be studying for my physics exam tomorrow, but I need a break. I have been in the library since eleven am. It is nearly 5 o’clock, I am overwhelmed by life these days, but a friendly face to make small talk with from across the table, really makes the fifth consecutive hour of studying more tolerable. I want to look up and say something. My eyes will
