. I’m a second-class citizen here with the set of struggles that come with that. To this day I experience racism essentially wherever I go in America. People making assumptions about me before they even meet me. Having this color of skin is a death sentence here when it comes to leading a normal American life. I can’t even go down the street on a nice day a lot of times without someone thinking I am a dangerous person. This color of skin isn’t associated with good things in America. Though David

for granted or aren’t aware of it. But it is an incredible gift for which we should be grateful and which we should seek to use on behalf of a world in desperate need of it. Remember that the Lutheran Reformation began in a university. Martin Luther was a teacher committed to making sure people could read and write and study the Scriptures in their own language so that they could learn for themselves about the same steadfast and loving God that Solomon prayed to.  That commitment to critical study

I didn’t think I would get the chance to travel while attending PLU. I guess the stars aligned just perfectly enough for me to get the opportunity to travel to Chengdu, China, to study Traditional Chinese Medicine this J-Term 2011.

That’s a different way of thinking about the work.  Maya: Which I think, like Tyler said, is resurfacing, returning, unearthing and making space for things to breathe after having been buried.Narrator: (With a sigh of appreciation into the thoughtful silence following that evocative image, remembering Maya had focused her studies at PLU “around inequality and its intersections with our natural environment.”) Whew.

the riptides. The camera sets us at eye-level with Anne, making us privy to this moment of autonomy. Wentworth looks back worried but resists the urge to protect her (which he has self-consciously admitted to beforehand). As we’re left floating in the cold water with Anne, no fourth wall needs to be broken. The camera tilts overhead to the flying seagulls, and we understand that this scene announces Anne’s rebirth, her impending freedom from familial and social constraints. In a movie that makes

sketched out areas for us to look to for future development and improvement. I am impressed with the hard and good quality work that has gone into these plans, and I am happy to arrive at the University in time to help shepherd the institution through the process of making plans to carry out the intentions of PLU2020. The greatest strength of our university is that true institutional leadership is about much more than presidents. The deep tradition of shared governance at PLU ensures that the values we
