students” (Active Minds, 2020). What do we mean when we talk about “wellbeing,” and what are those actions faculty and GE can take “as helpers, not clinicians” that may also be compatible with their own wellbeing? This toolkit strives to address these questions by briefly synthesizing national data about what wellbeing is and why it matters, and by offering a range of strategies, pre-made tools, and draft language to support student wellbeing in the context of your courses.Defining WellbeingIn the book

) Disciplinary Breadth in Environmental Studies Each course explores the key content, ways of inquiry, conceptual framework and modes of communication of the discipline. Students take courses from each of three areas of study that provide an in-depth exposure to environmental issues within a discipline. The Environment and Science 8 semester hours These courses emphasize the understanding of scientific knowledge that underpins environmental issues. The interpretation and presentation of data along with

2006 “Can the Can”Office of Residential Life and Outdoor Rec to initiate the formation of a bike co-op on campus. campaign and raise awareness about PLU’s surplus sales. Meanwhile, Pfaff will work with the Since the inception of “Can the Can” in October 2006, nearly half of PLU’s faculty and staff have opted to participate, giving up their personal trash cans in favor of recycling more. However, no data has been collected about the effectiveness of the campaign. Buchholz will survey faculty and

samples need to spin inside the magnet at nearly the speed of sound to get the best data. The spectrometer contains a series of chambers, with the outside chamber forming a vacuum jacket. The outer chamber is then filled with liquid nitrogen, which is at a temperature of minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit. Inside the chamber, a superconducting magnet sits in a broth of liquid helium, which is even colder, at minus 452 degrees Fahrenheit, or just a few degrees above the lowest known temperature in the

the group a bit about field craft, such as map reading and rope work. Swanson said that this year’s summer research really gave him a look into the scientific process and at “least a brief look at what scientists do in the field.” Todd said this is key, since each student on her team developed their own research study on the Rainier Mount Rainier and had to deal with some data that was expected, as well as some result that were unexpected. “It will help them deal with complexity and unknowns, and

published as a result of decreasing military budget projections. Cuts to JBLM would represent as much as 8 percent of the total cuts recommended by SPEA, which calls for the Army to reduce its “active duty end-strength” from 562,000 in 2012 (when PEA research began) down to 420,000 or fewer. Wednesday’s session will represent one of 30 throughout the country that are part of the Army’s analyses and data collection regarding where to enact the pending cuts. “The Army published a SPEA and determined that

call her in my head. She helps me take so many risks that I never thought I could accomplish. Her door is always open for me. Tell me about your favorite class at PLU. My favorite class was statistical consulting with Dr. [N.] Justice. We learned practical skills that will help in work as a data analyst or consultant. How has working with Campus Life as an ambassador for assessment, evaluation and research enriched your learning at PLU? I am taking it as practice for what I want to go into, which

answer to,” she said. “This gives them a first-hand look at how to ask the question, how to rule things out, how to set controls and interpret the new data.” Deane is one of approximately 30 students paired with about a dozen professors from the Division of Natural Sciences under PLU’s Summer Undergraduate Research Program. Each year the program gives up and coming scientists, such as Deane, a chance to do field or lab research, and gain hands-on experience that is rare for an undergraduate. Science

, McFadden ‘11 landed a position as a postdoctoral associate at the Yale Institute of Global Health in New Haven, Connecticut, where she spends her time analyzing factors that have caused child vaccination rates to decline in many parts of the country.Not that poring over such data was always her forte. Her passion was kindled years ago as a psychology undergrad at PLU — even if she had to overcome her initial dread of statistics and methods first. “I was terrified to take that class because I never

of the crystal. This research aimed to replicate the literature data and determine if the NMR peak broadening was a result of kinetics. This was done by lowering the temperature in the NMR while the sample ran, effectively slowing the kinetics and should have increased peak definition. Data collected thus far in time indicates that peak definition is independent of temperature and more dependent on ligand concentration. 2:30 pm - Binding Studies on Second Order Non-Linear Optical Chromophores and
