encouraged by the interdisciplinary arm of the contest. The Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications also hosts the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)—the “pure math” side of the competition. This year the simultaneous contests drew 20,000 teams and played out at thousands of locations across twenty-one countries. At PLU, the ultramarathon-style drama unfolds in the Morken Center for Learning and Technology, where, this year Duffy, Madeline and Matthew listened to the Vines for six hours

The program’s skill set overlaps a lot with what national studies show are the skills that employers are most looking for. The minor also requires that we work in diverse teams with students from other disciplines, which is nice given that most of time we history majors stick to ourselves (or maybe cross-train with others in Social Sciences). I feel that I am learning to sell ideas
