Heath has discovered that this fictional world created by imagining a starship allows for conversations, and disagreements, that are otherwise impossible. For example, when he asked two different biology professors about creating a biosphere, one was adamant that it had to be based on a tropical climate in order to

With the help of PLU staff, Ojala-Barbour submitted grant proposals to the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation and the Green Partnership Fund. Help and support from people on campus including Professor of Biology William Teska and Sustainability Coordinator Chrissy Cooley, made learning how to write a grant proposal a lot less daunting. By the fall of 2009, Ojala-Barbour learned the grants had been awarded to his project

TACOMA, WASH. (April 21, 2016)- Senior Tyler Dobies and first-year Caitlin Johnston say spring break changed their lives. While some Pacific Lutheran University students may have gone on vacation or had fun in the sun, other Lutes – like Johnston and Dobies – were busy…

Caitlin Johnston, a first-year who hopes to study biology and French, participated in the Parkland Immersion program, which was co-sponsored by the Center for Community Engagement and Service (CCES), Associated Students of PLU (ASPLU) and Residential Life. This program took three students on a five-day journey to explore Parkland and to learn more about the area surrounding PLU. Johnston said she

She spent two months over the summer living in D.C., assisting with program development and grant writing, as well as learning about the politics surrounding humanitarian work.She said her experiences underscored her passion for a future in public health. “This internship definitely re-instilled the passion in me to work with women’s health and

If you polled people, chances are few would raise their hands and volunteer to go back to middle or high school. For many, those were awkward times in just about every way imaginable. For folks that struggled with reading, writing, communication or other subjects, even…
like the PLC wherever I end up.”Biology major Susan Schowalter ’19, another student assistant director, helped a student and a family member with a college application process last year, which she said was a rewarding highlight. “I was drawn to the PLC because it was an opportunity to provide exceptional resources like writing help and class tutoring to students in the Parkland community,” she said. “Being a university that brings in large numbers of people from around the country, PLU asks a lot

Lutes are dedicated to global education, and student athletes are no different. This fall, two Lutes who studied in Norway managed to balance their studies and training abroad, while PLU welcomed
interests. Growing up, her mother — who is half Norwegian and half Swedish — shared a lot of Norwegian traditions with her. She wanted to study in Norway to reconnect with those roots, and her biology-environmental studies double major lined up well with the curriculum. “It just worked out so well with everything,” she said of the program. The cherry on top was the small town with lots of outdoor recreation opportunities. “You can walk around in a half hour,” she said of Bø, a village of nearly 6,000
