“Attending a chemistry program at a small liberal arts school…gave me post-graduation opportunities! I was able to do research at PLU, research through an REU program at an R1 school, and had multiple post-graduation options months before I graduated. Thank you for preparing me for a life of inquiry in the sciences!” – Caleb Chandler ’17 Research By Area Analytical and Environmental Chemistry Angie Boysen, Ph.D. Brian Naasz, Ph.D. Biochemistry Tina Saxowsky, Ph.D. Dave Song, Ph.D. Physical

Learning TogetherPLU emphasizes the importance of student research and creative projects. From summer-long student-faculty research projects in the natural sciences to student-directed plays in theatre, these opportunities have many benefits and help students explore and learn more in-depth about an area of study or future career path that interests them, gain invaluable hands-on experience and organizational skills, and learn to balance independent and collaborative work. These research and

When talking about locating sources for an assignment, students often remain task-oriented and focus on “finding” rather than on learning, and our own research demonstrates this remains true for many PLU students.
