gathered samples and expertly interpreted the amassed data. This research project was part of the Natural Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Program (NSSURP). NSSURP allows student researchers to work directly with PLU faculty mentors to experience a learning dimension rarely accessible from the academic-year textbook and laboratory assignments. Research projects reflect the natural sciences fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental studies, geosciences, mathematics, physics

disciplines such as economics, mathematics and accounting. “Larger university faculties may not be able to coordinate across these disciplines like we do,” Boeh said. The masters program targets new and recent graduates, and is an intensive program that will take 10 months to complete, rather than the more traditional two years for an MBA, he said. Because of the small class size that is traditional at PLU, professors will have the opportunity to focus on the individual, he noted. The PLU MSF aligns

-Degree Engineering Program. In addition to math and science courses, students will complete an internship/industry experience and/or courses in business, economics, history and ethics. “Project-based learning is a different kind of learning than in-class learning and adds a different kind of value to a student’s degree,” said Bogomil Gerganov, associate professor of physics. “Internships and apprenticeships are extremely valuable training for future engineers, and students with such experience are

women can be tied back to poverty, hunger and environmental degradation, he said. Women’s rights and women in power were also addressed by such speakers as Brenda Miller, who read from her book “Season of the Body,” and a brash talk by Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner on her  push to secure rights for working mothers. Sut Jhally, the founder and executive director of the Media Education Foundation, urged men to seriously consider how male gender roles can contribute in violence against women. Jhally spoke at

capitalism in a variety of contexts, including curriculum related to American history, Economics, Global Studies, Business, and PLU’s new Innovation Studies program. The lecture was free and open to the public. The Dale E. Benson Lecture in Business and Economic History Supported by a generous endowment from the Benson Family, the Benson Lecture is designed to bring leading experts in the fields of history, business, and economics to campus to address the PLU community.
