later taught in the classroom? “Children come [to school] with a whole lot of socio-cultural processes when it comes to learning,” Thirumurthy said. “So we need to find out how teachers can connect new knowledge to their cultural practices and how it informs curriculum.” Beginning in October 2011, Thirumurthy used her Fulbright grant to find out. Over seven months, she met with students and families in the Muslim and Hindu communities in Chennai, as well as observe the rituals and cultural practices

always fun to hear from folks who seethe book in a bookstore or to meet professors at conferences who use it in with their classes, said Fryhle. He recalls hearing from a relative in Sweden who saw it there.  Thousands of copies are in print. “I get a lot of satisfaction of presenting the material as cleanly and clearly as possible,” Fryhle said. “Another stimulating aspect about writing is the dialog with other organic chemists around the country about chemical processes and how we teach our beloved

Sessions include: From Derry, Northern Ireland, Eamonn Baker and Maureen Hetherington have worked for decades on peace-building in the context of the sectarian violence known as “the Troubles.” Their keynote talk will describe how their work uses the healing processes of dialogue and deep listening.

be cast. A significant hurdle in teaching these processes is the cost and amount of waste generated when a mold doesn’t perform as intended. It means that the original attempt needs to be successful for the most part, and doesn’t allow for a lot of tests and trials like you might find in a ceramics course. 3D digital modeling and printing are quickly replacing a lot of casting in art and industry as a method of replication, but the lessons are still relevant and provide a wide range of knowledge

Involvement & Leadership will oversee the processes for selection, installation and initiation of PLU’s initial cohort—and all subsequent ones—and the chapter will be advised on a rotating basis by Lizz Zitron, Ian Jamieson, Eva Johnson and Baillon. Membership is quite a distinction for students—and for PLU: As a member of The Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS), the nation’s only certifying agency for college and university honor societies, Mortar Board is a widely recognized symbol of

He was recognized with an Excellence in the Arts award from the university in 1988 for becoming “a champion for the education, support and advocacy of all the art disciplines; the creative processes that reflect most honestly the human spirit.” During his time at PLU, Dick helped make the university’s School of Arts one of the best in the region, working with the chairs of art, music and theater departments, hiring excellent faculty and bringing

There is a lot that can be derived from that experience. Coming out here to Washington, and meeting, speaking, and connecting with people who hold many different beliefs than I do, my thought processes have shifted a number of times. Being open to change is the key to everything, rather than just sticking to a particular mindset. What’s the biggest

Experiments vary and can last a few hours or take a few days. For example, there will be some days that I design and execute multiple short
