  • of self, rather than a dreamed-of salary. In short, discovery of the authentic I inspires professional creativity, and compassionate, reflective citizenship.Creating an environment that promotes lifelong honing of the I is what liberal education is all about. As such, the undergraduate “liberal arts” skills that students learn, be they history, biology, a foreign language, or psychology, should in praxis be a mere framework through which an attentive teacher lays a path for students to discover

  • to get into nature, to appreciate the wild and beautiful places in our state,” he said. “And that’s a really important first step in becoming an advocate for the environment.” Wade, too, remains deeply rooted in the lifestyle he forged through his years of work in that little utility room behind the ASPLU office. After graduating from PLU with a degree in biology, he leveraged his experience with Outdoor Rec into a job with American Alpine Institute as a climbing guide before moving on to work

  • I have to take the Math Placement Evaluation?The Math Placement Evaluation is one of the most important tasks to complete to ensure you get into the classes you need when you go through the registration process. This evaluation is what PLU uses to determine which math classes you can be placed into and if you’re allowed to start in some courses and/or majors (think biology, chemistry, nursing pre-requisites, business pre-requisites and more). *All students, no matter their math background or

  • lot of people have heard of the concept of “triggers,” but much less well-known is the concept of “glimmers.”  According to licensed clinical social worker, Deb Dana, glimmers are, “…small moments when our biology is in a place of connection and regulation, which cues our nervous system to feel regulated and calm…[glimmers are] not…great, big, expansive experiences of joy or safety or connection, these are micro moments that begin to shape our system in very gentle ways” (Dana, 2018).  Some

Dr. Rui Feng, Associate Chair and Distinguished Professor of Second Language Instruction of College of Education, Troy University The Confucius Institute—A Culturally Cyclic Game Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT) builds on the fundamental intuition that in games that are played very often, strategies that lead to a high payoff at a point in time are more likely to be played in subsequent games than less successful strategies. This paper takes

  • enact change in the world. I am a Chemistry and Nordic Studies double major with a minor in Biology. I have aspirations to one day attend medical school to revolutionize neuroscience. My grandfather passed away from ALS a week before my graduation from high school. It was his dream to live long enough to see me cross the stage and receive my diploma. He never got to live that dream; but he has inspired me to help others who have suffered like him. This has brought me to study at PLU, a community
