technology in education will continue to grow. We will never be a fully online university, and we may not, at least in the short term, offer completely online classes or programs. But I believe that we must continue to stay near the cutting edge in classroom-based technology use if we expect to compete for the next generation of the best and brightest. They will expect nothing less. Third, the world continues to get smaller. Our nationally recognized position as a leader in global education is a huge

with that and struggling with going back to school. Right after it happened, I actually called Gonzaga and withdrew from school because I didn’t think I wanted to go back. I had thought I was called to stay at home. Two days later, I figured out that I couldn’t use my brother as the reason why I didn’t get my bachelor’s degree. He wouldn’t want that laid on him.

Dr. (Karen) Travis introduced me to public health and showed me a way to use my skills in a field that I was passionate about. 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

was as depressing as this. To those who have seen The Child, however dimly, however incredulously The Time Being is, in a sense, the most trying time of all. [1] Professor Emeritus Doug Oakman and his students in 2015 Words. Words are the heart of the Humanities. Whether they are in English, Spanish, Latin, or Greek. Italian, French, German, Norwegian, Chinese. Words are like images. Words are images. Words become music to the attentive ear. So there is a natural affection between the Humanities

Bird ’21 While many of us are familiar with low-fidelity manikins used in CPR classes, high-fidelity manikins can be programmed with hundreds of interactive scenarios and medical conditions. For example, a manikin with asthma might display rapid breathing, wheezing and color changes. Nursing major Linda Awuah ’21 remembers the first time she heard a manikin make a little “oh” sound when touched. “It sounded real. I wasn’t expecting it at all.” A manikin can show signs of dehydration or suffer a

is an important distinction because while students are away from the PLU campus we are required to be active and engaged in the communities that surround us in the world. As stewards of the world, armed with new knowledge about people, places and cultures, that information that we learn is brought in to the classroom as a great tool for discussion and collaborative learning. Taking classes in the liberal arts is a gift—we are required to expand our interdisciplinary knowledge. No PLU graduate

in Germany, and the nearly five in New York City. No question growing up in the Pacific Northwest in particular, and the American West in general, have greatly defined my work. I’m fortunate to be extremely fond of the place I’m from. The mountains, waters, trees, and even vast horizons east of the mountains have always been dear to me and important to the work. Other art of any discipline greatly informs my work, as well- whether film, music, other painters… Seeing the contents of so many

. “It’s a step in the right direction,” Green said of the recent upgrades across campus. In addition to the elevators, which will be completed by January 2018, a wider restroom door and new ramp provide better access to the Kreidler Hall lounge where commuter and military-affiliated students gather. Paving between Mary Baker Russell Music Center and Hong Hall, as well as miscellaneous spots around campus, offer smoother access to sidewalks (funds from ASPLU were included in this project). And

September 3, 2009 A PLU graduate reflects on his time abroad I sat in one of my first classes at the University of Westminster in London flummoxed. It was days since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, and a European student sitting in the back of the lecture hall raised her hand and put forth to our professor: “What happened in New York and Washington, D.C., is horrible, but didn’t the United States kind of have it coming?” In hindsight, I chuckle at how stunned and offended I was to hear such
