They also developed a shipping program, allowing them to sell to remote customers for the first time.Less orthodox was a new program called “What’s at Stake” that allowed customers to honor loved ones by placing memory markers in the tulip fields. These are displayed on the company web site and were a much bigger hit than anticipated. “We thought there would be about 300 people that

transitioned school online. I was also a commuter student, so I can’t speak much about campus life. With that said, my experiences at PLU have been wonderful. I’ve participated in several organic chemistry and biology labs and always felt that PLU had sufficient resources. Yeah, some money could be spent on buying better ring stands or heat plates, but I am very satisfied with the lab tools provided to the students. Professors are always willing to chat during office hours and happy to answer questions

Yakelis, chemistry department chair “I think that PLU has a lot of professors who are here because they get excited about the things their students are doing,” she said. “And as a student it’s really empowering to have professors who do get so excited.” Smith came to PLU not intending to major in chemistry. She knew she was interested in environmental science, but thought biology would be her path. After taking organic chemistry, Smith found her passions and talent with chemistry. “Here, the

Then the physician Marshall Hall defined it as affecting “…all the several [systems] which constitute the animal frame,—the organs of animal and of organic life; the different sets of muscles..; the functions of the head, the heart, the stomach,” (OED). The continuity between the definitions is that the term “hysteria” was leveled near exclusively at women. Given its setting in the late 1810s, in Sanditon, Esther’s

great curiosity that continues to fuel my wondering and my learning.  As you look back on your PLU education, I hope you will see a similar pattern. Because you see the search for truth and understanding is continuous, never ending, and what we “know for sure” is organic; and that reality requires of us a kind of intellectual humility, an openness to the possibility of being wrong, and then learning anew.  I lived for over 60 years knowing there were nine planets, now we are not sure how many, or

started working with Crown S Ranch, which raises cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry without toxic drugs or chemicals on organic pastures in Winthrop, Wash. “I’ve been out to the farm and they have the chickens running around between the sheep, eating what chickens like to eat, and living a life chickens should live,” Swenson said. Swenson said knowing where the food comes from makes him feel a lot better about serving it. Dining uses the farm’s whole chicken and recently switched completely over to its

Too much ornamentation can result in a discordance between the shape of the piece and the glaze. As such, I prefer to forgo ornate embellishments and excessive altering of my work in favor of letting different glaze combinations mingle and flow in an organic pattern. My work has primarily been shaped by inspirations found in
