In Katmandu, Youtz and Unsoeld landed a gig housesitting for John Seidensticker who was, at the time, conducting post-doctoral research on tigers and jaguars in the Tibetan backcountry. Seidensticker, who is now the head of the Conservation Ecology Center at the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park, subsequently introduced the pair to another survey tracking nearby rhino populations. Assisting in both

manager mentioned nearly half of those 10,000 troops were African-American, Wells decided it was time to dig into this relatively unknown story. “This really made my ears perk up. I had no knowledge of this history until then,” he said. Wells established a student-faculty research project in investigative journalism and recruited Shannon Schrecengost ’09 to help.

All told, each year there are more than 50 grant-supported student-faculty research and creative projects. It is that type of experience that PLU is known for – professors and students side-by-side, conducting research in the lab or in the field. #7 We know what it means to be successful PLU is distinguished by
