Students at PLU receive excellent hands-on training in the classrooms and laboratories of Rieke. Now is a particularly exciting time in the chemistry department.

His talk – titled The Moral and Political Wars of Health Care Reform ¬– will take place on Thursday, Sept. 18, at 7:30 p.m. in the Scandinavian Cultural Center. “There’s wide agreement that something needs to be done, and that something will always involve government action,” Menzel said last week. “But

Northwest. I knew little of the school or the traditions out of which it had grown, but I had visited the Northwest on several occasions. On one such visit, at the prescient age of 14, as I looked at Mt. Rainier on a clear day from the Olympic Hotel in Seattle, I announced to my bemused parents that “this wouldn’t be a bad place to settle down someday.” David Robbins, Chair of the Music Department at PLU.

November 1, 2010 What is ‘social justice’? And why should you care? By Kari Plog ’11 In the first floor of PLU’s University Center, students fill the overstuffed couches – some studying, some texting their friends, some just hanging out. It’s what happens at the Diversity Center all the time. The “D Center,” as it is known, is a great place to hang out. It is also a great place to tackle big issues – like power, privilege, equity and inclusiveness. It can be both. In fact, that’s the whole
