away two times during my time at PLU. The first was to Uruguay during J-Term in 2020 for extensive Spanish study, and the second was to the Bahamas this past J-Term to study marine biology. Immersing myself in different cultures has helped me broaden my worldview, and both have been valuable experiences both with learning about the culture as well as the class material I was learning about at the time. I also really enjoyed working in the biology department as a TA and lab prep. I gained valuable

how to survive on the ice, and then setting out for their research location. On this particular day, Todd was not thinking about Antarctica, but relishing her team’s trips to Rainier. “We’re using Mount Rainier to learn about glaciers in other parts of the world,” she said. “You really couldn’t ask for a better lab to study glaciers than Mount Rainier.” The other five members of this summer’s team—Emily Knutsen ’16, Riley Swanson 15, Taylor Christensen ’15, Samantha Harrison ‘16 and Christina Gray

Year” by the Society of Professional Journalists of Western Washington. Plog, who as a PLU student majored in Journalism and served as Editor-in-Chief of The Mast, a producer for Media Lab, and student writer for University Communications, says she’s loved nearly every moment of her career thus far.When and why did you decide you wanted to be a journalist? After 9/11, I realized how little I knew about current events and the world around me — and that really bothered me. At that point, I realized

to go to med school to have a deep impact. Gavidia decided to major in computer science, redirecting his career trajectory toward tech instead of medicine. Gavidia immersed himself in his new field from the start, becoming a computer lab teaching assistant during the spring semester of his freshman year. “It was rewarding getting to help students and having them get to that ‘ah ha’ moment.” He continued to tutor other students during his sophomore and junior years. In the spring of this sophomore

My ways of thinking were influenced by my economics classes, I often stop and think about the incentive structures that are leading people to make certain decisions, or about the economics of prevention. I also reinforced my value

” professors like Justin Lytle—“my go-to professor when it came to anything science.” Through them, he found research opportunities on campus, at Cornell, and in the graduate program he’ll attend in Arizona, and he credits his success to PLU’s broad liberal-arts curriculum. “My time at PLU gave me a strong foundation,” he said, “not just analytical skills, but being able to communicate with people, and to write lab reports, helped prepare me for the research world.” Proudest achievements: Gonzalez’s

endeavored to move a several-hundred – pound whale skeleton from the chicken coop – located at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife storage facility in Lakewood – to PLU earlier this year. He propped up the third – obviously older jawbone- in the corner, and then turned his attention to the other two. With a heave, these were placed in the back of a pickup. On to the next group of bones. For two hours, Behrens, along with Audrey Thornburg, the Rieke Science Center’s biology lab manager, and

November 18, 2010 PLU student and prof head to Antarctica for global warming research through study of rocks and ice By Barbara Clements In a lab littered with Hostess snack bars and French fry wrappers, geosciences student Mike Vermeulen ’12, turns to his computer and pops up a map of Antarctica, then points to a grid in the upper part of the frozen continent. PLU geoscience professor Claire Todd and PLU student Mike Vermeulen head to deep into Antarctica to study rocks that may help explain

feet above is call type 3, a crossbill which feeds on Western Hemlock cones. The next step in Smith’s research requires bringing female crossbills into captivity to see how they respond to songs of different call types. “I like giving students an opportunity to have an experience they may not have in a lab,” Smith said, as she and Grossberg picked their way down the muddy trail to the beach. Once the songs are collected, Smith and her students,Grossberg and Kirsten Paasche ’13, will take the sounds
