intend to return to school in the near future to continue to study health care policy or economics and in the interim I wish to pursue an opportunity to explore these fields outside of the classroom. Kathryn (Katie) Oliver – Bachelor of Science in Biology Why PLU? My older brother, a great scholarship, a community that made me feel at home and ultimately a ‘chance’ last minute decision. My PLU experience: My four years at PLU are characterized by field trips, late nights studying, dinner parties

to the polymer can cause the formations of nanomorphologies that may lead to ionic pathways as well as a structural region that can prevent dendritic growth. Nine oligo(ethylene oxide, N=3) grafted oxanorbornyl diblock copolymers with narrow polydispersities were synthesized using ring opening metathesis polymerization with varying compositions and molecular weights to determine the phase diagram. The order-disorder transition temperature (ODT) and order-order transition temperature (OOT) of the

other a phenyl side group. NMR analysis of the polymers demonstrated a cis to trans ratio ranging from 1.2:1 to 1.7:1. Gel permeation chromatography was used to measure molecular weight and polydispersity indices. The polymer’s polydispersities were found to be narrow with values of less than 1.07. The diblock copolymers gave two glass transition (Tg) temperatures corresponding to the blocks of the copolymers with the higher Tg block shifted to a lower value relative to the homopolymer due to the

called “Immunology and Virology” and counted for a cellular and molecular biology credit. I studied the components of the human immune system, with emphasis on the interplay between pathogens and immune cells, the recognition of self versus non-self cells, and the methodology we use to study the immune system. My readings consisted of textbook chapters and journal articles. Rainey Aberle, '17, Geosciences and Physics:My tutorial was titled “Impacts and Adaptations to Climate Change” and counted as

hope to stick around the South Sound region — it’s close to home, and I like the area. I’ll take all the rain, sun and snow rather than just one or the other.

impact people’s lives in a positive way, but I also didn’t want to major in biology or chemistry, so I entered my freshman year as a computer science major,” he says. It was a choice that would radically change his chosen path.In his first computer science class at PLU, Gavidia learned how quickly software can scale and impact people around the world. “Just one person, or a small group, can accomplish so much,” Gavidia says. That moment was key for him: he realized he didn’t have to go to med school

recoil, was first used in the early seventeenth century to describe the ability of materials such as wood, iron and bronze to withstand severe loads without breaking. Used now in a wide range of fields including epidemiology, psychology, business, biology and ecological science, public policy, post-disaster recovery and community development, the term has evolved into a concept that describes the capacity to withstand and overcome the stress and devastation related to traumatic events such as violent

, innovations in technology and statistical analysis help research psychologists run their calculations using programs like SPSS Statistics. These computing innovations have increased researchers’ capabilities and given them opportunities for more advanced analysis through a much simpler process. Innovation is not just technology, of course, and in Psychology many areas of the discipline are undergoing rapid change. In fact, Psychology is relatively new in comparison to other sciences such as biology, and
