  • ) Media Literacy COMA 388 class culminated in a final “Critical Making” project, where students built, designed, or mocked up a media literacy tool. The goal of the assignment was to envision a web that prioritized the circulation of credible information. Critical making is a process where students apply theories and concepts to a creative project or artifact, and where imaginative design – focusing more on engagement with theory and concepts, rather than functionality – is encouraged. The students

  • focus of my time at PLU. The most important memories I’ve made here center on the relationships I’ve built with professors, and the times when I’ve been challenged to dig deeper into the material and to think in completely different ways. The experiences I cherish most are those when I’ve sat in the classroom, listening to a lecture, and that theory I’ve been studying so hard to really understand finally makes sense, all the pieces finally fit together. Professors like Dr. Huelsbeck, Dr. Eric Nelson

  • ,” Krause said of the early days. “I feel like we paid our dues. We worked very hard.” Music is Krause’s passion; it’s what brought him to PLU, where he earned a communication degree. He writes songs, sings and plays guitar for Fort Union, which just released a new album (fupdx.com). He also can play piano and played saxophone in the PLU Jazz Band as a student. Krause makes a different kind of music at Fried Egg I’m In Love when he’s donning an apron and juggling spatulas. The sounds of silverware

  • . In theory, mutating these small amino acids with larger and more bulky residues should introduce more electron density and therefore close up the cavity making them shorter. Upon successful mutation of SSL-1, enzyme activity will be observed by performing in vitro studies. Ideally, these shorter cavities should better accommodate for shorter botryococcene substrates and ultimately improve the efficiency of biofuel production.

  • in theory produce two electron-hole pairs per absorbed photon. Singlet fission (SF) is a spin-allowed process by which a molecule in its excited singlet state shares its energy with a ground state molecule to produce two triplet-excited molecules creating the potential of doubling the photocurrent from high-energy photons in solar cells. A series of perylene‑based compounds capable of intramolecular singlet fission have been developed at NREL and in this work we derivatize the aforementioned

  • communities, health vulnerability for all people and climate catastrophes across the planet. She will also share both Navdanya’s experience and her scientific research on how biodiversity and agroecology create economic and social health and climate resilience. Bio: Dr. Vandana Shiva trained as a Physicist at the University of Punjab, and completed her PhD on the ‘Hidden Variables and Non-locality in Quantum Theory’ from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. She later shifted to inter-disciplinary

  • 100th Anniversary of the partition of Ireland, Partition: What Did It Do For Us? and a programme that has evolved from the Ethical and Shared Remembering Project, Living With Imperial Legacies: Empires, Racism, Slavery and Colonialism. Maureen sees the Junction as presenting an opportunity to bridge the gap between the academic world and the wider community and the gap between theory and practice, across the various disciplines. Central to its role is an accessible, approachable and significant

  • bachelor’s graduates and 100 percent of master’s degree graduates passed their state boards at first sitting. One more PLU graduate received a Fulbright Fellowship, bringing our 34 year total to 80. Our student Mathematics Modeling team won a meritorious award, the second-highest award possible, and the student MediaLab received a college division Emmy Award for their film “Illicit Exchanges: Canada, the US, and Crime.” At the end of the academic year,  the University Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band
