institutional priorities led President Robert Mortvedt to place the sciences and music on “pinnacles of lonely hope” for new buildings in his address at the fall retreat in 1968. Hopes for federal funding at the time of President Eugene Wiegman’s accession were dashed by the disappearance of congressional support for university facility construction. The biology department, receiving the use of a remodeled World War II barracks, graciously relinquished for our use the second floor laboratory most often

TACOMA, WASH. (Feb. 26, 2018) — Panayotis (Panago) Horton ’12 tattooed a three-link chain on his forearm: one link each for himself, his mother and his brother. The family emigrated from Greece when he was just 2 years old. They were his rock. And although…
.” Jackson and Pierce are both involved with the rollout of the scholarships, leveraging their professional knowledge and connections through the organizations Graduate Tacoma and Seattle Education Access. But they play a supportive role, letting the family take the lead. Panago’s life after PLU was that of self-discovery and transformation, which he navigated in between his selfless causes. The biology major opted to veer from his original plan to become a dentist — something initially inspired by his

Hutchinson Cancer Institute, and Shannon Seidel, Biology, PLU The maturation of T-cells results in the formation of T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) during gene rearrangement. Previously, there were no TREC primers available for the most common lab mouse. This project utilizes gene sequencing and TREC assays through PCRs to detect thymic output in multiple mouse strains. Some results of this study are still pending. 10:30 am | Keynote Welcome - AUC 214 Chris Knutzen Hall10:30 am | Welcome Joanna

be checked before students cross the stage, shake the president’s hand and march into their new lives. For many, the capstone is a stepping stone to bigger things – grad school, job, or once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where one’s passion and degree intersect. It’s a definite point of passage for a student, notes Ann Auman, associate professor of biology. “Capstone is time for integration of the knowledge which a student has learned in a major, with the ability to communicate that knowledge in both
