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

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

pursuing a chemistry or biology major into the context of large molecule drug development, and how some of those critical skills and learning can be translated.

called “Immunology and Virology” and counted for a cellular and molecular biology credit. I studied the components of the human immune system, with emphasis on the interplay between pathogens and immune cells, the recognition of self versus non-self cells, and the methodology we use to study the immune system. My readings consisted of textbook chapters and journal articles. Rainey Aberle, '17, Geosciences and Physics:My tutorial was titled “Impacts and Adaptations to Climate Change” and counted as
