This is a club for anyone who has been curious and interested in any aspect of mathematics, and we seek to highlight the intersection of mathematics with other STEM fields. We plan to discuss mathematics as a necessity for human flourishing, and to illustrate

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

She was first exposed to PLU’s kitchen at 5 years old, as the daughter of a biology professor. “The thing that really struck me about the kitchen here was that I never wanted to be anywhere else,” she said. “I’ve really found my niche here.” That niche is providing good food and an even better experience. (Video by Rustin Dwyer, PLU) “Food is so much more than just a thing,” McGinnis said. “You gather around food.” At

April Reitan (2002)After graduating from PLU 2002, I taught/tutored international and developmentally delayed students at Tacoma Community College.  Since I also have a BS in Biology, I took a job at Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center.  I work in a group in Public Health Sciences which conducts cancer studies.  Primarily, we conduct breast and ano-genital cancer studies, but we also have others like HPV-related, testicular, and skin cancer studies.
