aspects are easily seen in their regional costumes, dignitary and everyday wear.” The gallery will be full of color and texture. Several examples of textile techniques will be shown, as well as pieces from the distant past and present. “[My favorites are] some of the ‘heavily used’ rugs that show wear and tear,” Caspersen remarks. “When an item was used until it was almost in shreds, it means to me that they were not a throw-away society and items were meant to last.” In addition to the University

mountaineering course. That Reidel had never done this before didn’t matter. She wanted to challenge herself. The basic mountaineering class, taught by university fellow and archeologist Don Ryan, familiarized students with knots and carabineers, climbing techniques and how to survive in the wild. He uses these skills while shimmying up and down ropes into Egyptian tombs on his research trips. The half-semester class included an overnight trip nearby into the Cascade Mountains to test skills outside the gym

a graduate student and faculty to develop a research project, gain training in relevant techniques and instrumentation, collect data, and finally produce a poster and research abstract. Students participate in a weekly seminar on undergraduate research covering research ethics, writing a research abstract, making a scientific poster. Students participate in a weekly Materials Science special interest group in which they read scientific journals or tour other labs. Duration: 9 weeks Dates: June

explorations of their identity, culture, and strengths, and how to weave these into an individualized education plan. Participants have many opportunities to meet healthcare providers and researchers whose work addresses reducing health disparities. SHPEP at the University of Washington utilizes a range of teaching styles including lecture, active learning techniques, discussion groups, self-reflection and virtual hands-on activities to increase student engagement and learning. This year the program will

research projects in the laboratories of Graduate School faculty members. Fellows gain experience in modern research techniques and plan and execute an experimental strategy to answer a scientific question. SURF introduces students to the kinds of projects encountered during postgraduate research training and fosters an understanding of the planning, discipline, and teamwork involved in the pursuit of answers to current questions in the biological sciences. At the end of the SURF Program, fellows

politics; the second paper called “Cooking, Celebrity Chefs, and Public Intellectuals,” examines the roles of Celebrity Chefs (think Wolf Gang Puck and Rachel Ray), who are products of consumer capitalism, verses the Public Chef Intellectuals, whose focus is on teaching cooking techniques. Young and Eckstein have been working on these articles since March 2014, the idea devised over warm tomato soup and a grilled cheese, and maybe a rant about Guy Fieri.

helped make the program what it is today. The Tacoma News Tribune was the first, and longest-running community partnership in MediaLab’s 10 years of existence. They have agreed to continue their financial support through January 2018. Donations in the early years provided seed money that allowed MediaLab to purchase video cameras and editing software. MediaLab’s early work appeared on the Tribune website, and gave students the opportunities to develop shooting techniques. “The partnership with The

infrared laser spectroscopy, and computational studies of graphene oxide-liquid interfaces. Donghui Zhang and Gerald Schneider apply X-ray and neutron scattering techniques to soft matter research. The Superfund Center concentrates on newly identified pollutant-particle systems including environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs). We have a large (141 students) and diverse group of graduate students in our program, essentially all supported on assistantships or fellowships. We put a large

competition, sponsored by the Herbert B. Jones Foundation and the Civic Scholarship Initiative and hosted at the University of Puget Sound, will help EnVia bring retail products, crafted by female artisans and entrepreneurs, to the U.S. retail market. “As students learn and execute marketing techniques, it’s so wonderful that the outcome of this work will ultimately help women artisans/entrepreneurs build economic independence,” Mulder said. “It is just so PLU.” Read Previous PLU Presents Service Awards
