aquatic systems. Much of my past research has focused on interactions between herbivores and algae in marine systems. This has included studies of geographical gradients of herbivorous fish diversity and how temperature effects on physiology may play a role in driving this pattern and the effects of fisheries and disease on sea urchins and kelp forest ecology. My current research projects include studies of the community ecology of rocky shores of Puget Sound, disease ecology of sea urchins, and

Kallan Campa is excited to learn more about the complexities of the relationship between behavior and participation in physical activity. She shares about what inspired her to join the MSK program and what she is looking forward to learn. 1. What is one fun fact…
faculty member upholds high expectations for their undergraduate students, and I can only imagine how those expectations might be heightened in the MSK program! The presence of challenge is important to me, and I knew that I would have that in this program even though I would be in my comfort zone on campus. I have enjoyed the interactions I have had with peers and know that I have so much more to learn from the incredible faculty we have within the department. With those two components and a desire

PLU alum works to close state’s achievement gap Growing up, Erin Jones ’01, had no desire to become a teacher. In fact, she planned to become an international lawyer. But after visiting an economically disadvantaged, inner-city school in Philadelphia, Pa., Jones’ life plans changed dramatically.…
in poverty,” Jones said. “That’s my passion.” To help explain French, Jones composed about 25 songs and created a French café, which she used to demonstrate to her urban students the importance of such things as responsibility and personal interactions. Jones’ students served coffee and treats to both adults and older teenagers. During the process, students learned a range of skills, from how to greet adults with respect, to how to properly clean up after themselves. “What’s really powerful

PLU Class of 2009 Hispanic Studies and Global Studies Double Major Studied away in Oaxaca, Mexico and Oviedo, Spain Current: Assistant Director for the Henry M.
American & Caribbean Studies (LACS) program and also Assistant Director at the UW Center for Human Rights (UW CHR), also housed at the Jackson School. I frequently utilize language skills I gained in my undergraduate major, skills that were bolstered, specifically, by the study abroad programs. Also, my knowledge of, and experience with, Oaxaca transfers to other parts of Latin America, which helps better facilitate my interactions with our LACS and UW CHR partners in Latin America. For example, at

animal diversity includes general coverage for lower division students and invertebrate zoology. I have the pleasure of teaching both in the Pacific Northwest and the Caribbean. My research interests include ecology and biogeography, primarily in aquatic systems. Much of my past research has focused on interactions between herbivores and algae in marine systems. This has included studies of geographical gradients of herbivorous fish diversity and how temperature effects on physiology may play a role

Professor of Chemistry* | Department of Chemistry | fryhlecb@plu.edu | 253-535-7530 | Craig Fryhle began his career at PLU in 1986 working on organic synthesis targets related to natural products and potential mechanism-based enzyme inhibitors of the shikimic acid pathway. He has mentored undergraduate researchers in these areas who have gone on to careers in academia, industry and other pursuits.
to PLU. In 1993 he began a collaboration with Graham Solomons (University of South Florida) on the textbook Organic Chemistry (John Wiley and Sons, Inc.) leading to coauthorship of the 7th edition in 2000. Their textbook is used around the world in eight languages. The 12th edition was published in 2016, with Scott Snyder (University of Chicago) having joined as coauthor with the 11th edition. As teacher at PLU he has long been interested in innovative pedagogies, nurtured by interactions

Vinny D’Onofrio ’24 majored in biology and chemistry at PLU, played at nationals with the men’s soccer team, and prepared for a career in the medical field. D’Onofrio recently sat down with PLU News to discuss his PLU experience. How did you learn about PLU?…
cleaned by our mom. We argue over who starts first and we help out our mom: we hand her stuff, and push buttons for the X-rays while we are both taking turns in the chair.What did you learn in your two lab-based internships? Seattle Children’s showed me what goes on in research while looking for protein interactions. At RAIN Incubator we are trying to turn rhizobia into a certain type of soil bacteria. It is taking me down the direction if getting a PhD would be of interest to me. What is the first
