  • Every year since 2011, PLU has sent two Lutes to Norway as part of its summer Peace Scholars program. The Lutes learn about peacebuilding and dialogue, bringing what they learn home to apply it on

    former Peace Scholars prove it. “It’s something that happens between individuals and ordinary people, through dialogue,” said Cate Rush ’19, one of the most recent participants. “It’s not this lofty, abstract concept.” Simic-Muller says Rush and her counterpart, Austin Beiermann ’18, aren’t the only Peace Scholars who returned to PLU ready to apply what they learned abroad in the seven-week program. Ellie Lapp ’17 and Taylor Bozich ’17 used their newly acquired dialogue skills within student

  • Standards. 2:00-2:25pm – Polynomial Rings and Connections with Common Core Math Standards Andrew Curran We begin by introducing the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics and their history, as well as bringing in some examples of high school math standards. We then introduce abstract algebra concepts, defining terms such as rings, fields, and polynomial rings, as well as showing how arithmetic works in polynomial rings. Next, we introduce and prove the Division Algorithm. We conclude the paper by
