WELCOME W

e dedicate this special edition of The Collegian to the alumni and students who transformed Walla Walla University. Through their hard work and dedication, WWU has grown into the vibrant campus that it is today. As students came as bright-eyed freshman and left as global citizens ready to contribute to society, the campus has changed with each generation of students who have come the 125 years of the institution. As a representation of each year, we built this issue around the idea of utilizing 125 points compiled by our talented Collegian team. As each writer brings their own unique perspective through the amount of points they contribute, the points build up to the grand total of 125. The compilation of 125 points represents the shared experience of each unique student at the university. Despite the many differences of each student, each student shares in the culture developed on this campus. This unity through diversity allows each student to contribute their experience and worldviews to the university. This issue is also dedicated to each staff member on The Collegian team of 2016-2017. Without their God-given talent and relentless commitment, this special issue wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been a possibility. Thank you to everyone else who made this issue possible.

Editor’s Note O

n December 7, 1892, Walla Walla College opened as an institution dedicated to Seventh-day Adventist higher education. When Walla Walla College became Walla Walla University in 2007, the core themes of excellence in thought, generosity in service, beauty in expression, and faith in God were officially developed. Over the past 125 years, Walla Walla University has continued to uphold high standards and equip young men and women with the tools to make a positive difference in the world. In celebration of the 125th anniversary of our institution, we would like to highlight the many students who contribute to our vibrant campus life. We will also take you on a journey of how Walla Walla University came to be what it is today. We are honored to uphold the traditions of those who came before us and look forward to the bright possibilities of the future. I invite you to enjoy this snapshot of 125 interesting points about the campus and its students. I hope you are encouraged, inspired, and excited to a part of the Walla Walla University family. “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” - Malcolm X

Currently, President John McVay . has served as president for the third-longest amount of time. If he sticks around just a little bit longer, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll move up into second place.

ERICK JUAREZ

Walla Walla University has . technically only existed for 10 years. The other 115 years claimed the name Walla Walla College. WWU graduates are outnumbered by the WWC graduates from years 1892-2006.

The Oregon Trail leads right up . to Whitman Mission National Historic Site, and back in the day, Walla Walla, Washington, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as isolated of a location as it sometimes feels today.

The Fine Arts Center, Rigby Hall, University Church, and Kretschmar Hall were all built during the 1960s.

Snapshots of a Year Abroad The following quotes are from various students who have either studied or served abroad. In approximately 50 words, they attempt to capture their experience and what it meant to them. STEPHANIE SEPTEMBRE ACA/SM WRITER

SAM BROWN

IVORY VOGT

eaching in the Marshall Islands has been . a good experience for me. Not only did I learn about the Marshallese culture in Majuro, but I also learned about the Fijian and Kirabati cultures. The people are so giving, even though they don’t have much. If you decide to become a humanitarian worker on the Marshall Islands, it’ll be a good challenge for you! Mihaela Blackmore

Sam Brown

SM // MARSHALL ISLANDS

ACA // SPAIN

oing ACA in Spain was one of my best . experiences in my life so far. While traveling and living in another culture, you learn a lot about yourself and about other people. I learned that through another language, I could relate to other people and understand their experience. I also learned I needed to be more careful while traveling. I made life-long friends and became more fluent in Spanish. In essence, it opened my eyes to another way of life and made me want to explore the rest of world. Ivory Vogt

12 // THE COLLEGIAN // SPECIAL EDITION

y year at Middle East University . was not what one would expect as an ACA experience. A second-world city with a refugee problem, interaction with an entirely different religion, and only one other American does not match up well with the ACA stereotype of studying with friends in a Christian-European culture in an economically-blessed area. Talking to my compatriots who have done the year-abroad thing, sometimes I feel like I have more in common with SMs. But I don’t regret a minute of my time there. During my time abroad, I gained experiential knowledge of things most people only read about. That year was the grandest adventure of my life.

SM // MALAWI

eing a student missionary teacher in . Malawi was one of the best decisions I ever made. It pushed me out of my comfort zone in so many ways but allowed me to grow while learning more about the world and myself. The connections I made with those I worked for are friendships I hope to have forever, and having the opportunity to live in and adapt to a new culture was challenging but so rewarding. Nikki Holm

eing a missionary teacher gave me a . glimpse of true, unconditional love that I may not have experienced any other way. What I felt for my students and what I was willing to do for them helped me better understand what Christ was willing to do for me. Arely Hernandez-Cruz

STEPHANIE SEPTEMBRE

SM // PERU

y time as an SM in Peru, though only . for a summer, was handsdown the best experience of my life. The locals became family to me, and I know I will always be welcome among them. Equally important, I believe that the work I and the other SMs were doing there on behalf of Engineers Without Borders will positively impact the locals for years to come. Stephanie Septembre

DANIELLA SILVA

ACA // COLLONGES

tudying at Collonges was nothing like I . expected it to be. I went through culture shock, I learned to deal with the often rude customer service, and I found that many ACA students didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really care about learning French. Even so, I regret nothing. I made amazing friends, traveled Europe, and eventually became fluent in French. My greatest advice to prospective ACA students is donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shut yourself off to the possibilities. Whatever happens, it will be an adventure. Daniella Silva

SM // HONG KONG

orking as a student missionary in Hong . Kong was phenomenal in so many ways. I got to do interesting and meaningful work while learning to live in another culture. The whole adventure added a new dimension to my education, balancing my technical coursework at Walla Walla University with invaluable communications and multimedia experience that is of use in almost any field.

lost to massive construction updates that have occurred throughout the years, there are some old class gifts that still exist today. I invite you to enjoy our look at some remaining class gifts.

Directory Board for the Administration Building

This is the beautiful directory board located between the library and the Administration Building. You will always see it covered with the latest posters of all the various events going on around campus. You can thank the class of 1941 for providing a place for various clubs and community groups to advertise.

Triangular WWC sign by bird bath, front campus

Interestingly, in 1948, about 465 veterans of World War II chose to attend Walla Walla College instead of more prestigious secular schools. Their pride in the value of the Adventist education that could be obtained at Walla Walla College is displayed in the 1948 graduating class gift. This graduating class decided to donate money towards a sign for Walla Walla College. This smaller triangular sign was a precursor to the wooden sign that would take it’s place about 30 years later.

Steps at end of Hello Walk and sign lights for the Hello Walk

Walla Walla University has had a long tradition of fostering friendliness and community. Thus, the class of 1949 decided to dedicate a strip of sidewalk as the Hello Walk where students and faculty alike will meet you with a warm greeting. Lights were probably added to ensure that the Hello Walk didn’t turn into the HMT Walk. The HMT Walk, or Hug Me Tight Walk, was a notorious sidewalk along Sixth Street where couples would walk together despite the conservative rule against opposite sexes making much physical contact. Back then, the campus was divided into a boys’ side and a girls’ side, and order to avoid getting in trouble from professors, the HMT Walk became the place for couples to walk together.

Billy Budd bronze sculpture in front of the library

Few characters from literature stand as haunting, controversial, and perplexing as Billy Budd, the protagonist of Herman Melville’s “Billy Budd, Sailor.” Billy emerges as a central character in a drama that forces readers to consider difficult ideas about right, wrong, and justice. Such a thought-provoking and morally intriguing figure is perfectly suited to artistic interpretation, which is certainly what compelled Tom Emmerson, former professor of art at Walla Walla College, to sculpt a beautiful statue of Billy which was donated to the university by the class of 1993. Thanks to that gift, students now have a unique visual reminder to ponder the far-reaching philosophical questions of life while walking past the library.

Bibles in the University Church

Thanks to the class of 2005, we have several Bibles in every pew to accompany the hymnals. So the next time you are sitting in the University Church and the speaker asks you to turn in your Bible to a passage of scripture and you realize that you forgot your phone on your desk, don’t worry—the class of 2005 has got your back.

Administration Building Pillars

Atlas House

Before The Atlas was The Atlas, it was the ASH (ASWWU Student House). According to an old issue of The Collegian printed while the ASH was being conceptualized, the idea of a student “hangout” house was a dream conceived by ASWWC President Paul Rigner and passed from president to president, who each set aside money to someday make the house a reality. ASWWU President Eric Wilkinson (20092010) finally decided to find a way to make the dream come true, and students had the opportunity to present their ideas for the house at a confab event on Oct. 28, 2010. ASWWU Presidents Evan Kinne (2008-2009), Eric Wilkinson (2009-2010), Nolan Kinne (2010-2011), and James Oliver (2011-2012) also played an important role in making this dream become a reality. With the financial help of the class of 2010 and the support of ASWWU administrations from 2008 to 2012, the ASH became “The Atlas” and the house was renovated. A design competition was hosted to come up with a logo for the establishment, and before long, The Atlas opened.

As you cross College Avenue on a bright, spring day and walk towards the Administration Building, you are sure to notice the grand white pillars gleaming in front of the building. From the looks of them, you would never guess that they’ve been there for almost 125 years. But you can thank the class of 2004 for that. In the fall of 2003, the old Administration Building was demolished and construction began on the Administration Building building we have today. However, when Walla Walla College decided not to take down the pillars of the old building, the class of 2004 decided that for their class gift, they would help restore the pillars of the old Administration Building so that they would match the beautiful new building.

Rose Garden at Rigby Hall and Mountain Rents

The class of 2006 was busy. Not only did they help provide us with a beautiful rose garden in front of Rigby Hall, but they also gave us Mountain Rents. If you are looking for a moderately quiet place to hang out with your special someone, the rose garden outside of Rigby is the perfect place. It’s somewhat secluded and contains a bench so you can literally stop and smell the roses. The class of 2006 also understood that sometimes students need to get away from campus and out into nature, so they helped to establish Mountain Rents to facilitate these adventures. Next time you are out camping under the stars with your Mountain Rents equipment, be sure to mentally thank the class of 2006 for their consideration.

Plaza between Meske and Village Halls

There hasn’t always been a beautifully landscaped and carefully paved plaza between Meske and Village halls. Prior to the generous gift of the class of 2015, an asphalt fire lane stretched from Ash Avenue to the College Avenue sidewalk, leaving many students to traverse unsightly terrain on their way to classes every day. Now, that entire region of campus is significantly more attractive while still being accessible to emergency vehicles. SPECIAL EDITION // THE COLLEGIAN // 15

I asked people to tell me the most interesting or newsworthy thing they witnessed at WWU.

61 “

During a dead week in the Fishbowl, someone started playing music and everyone spontaneously got up and started dancing. Everyone stopped, didn’t care who was looking, paired up, and swing danced. Many didn’t even know each other.”

Gwen DeGross,

I asked people to tell me the coolest improvement they’ve seen since coming to WWU

“

Since I’ve been at WWU, I’ve witnessed the immense growth and potential of the product design program over the last six months. It’s gone from like 34 majors to 50-plus. They’re planning on making a vetting system to where only 1012 people will advance from sophomore year. This is all because of how amazing, talented, and inspiring Pablo Wenceslao is to the technology department. His new program will focus a lot on design strategy, theory, and philosophy. A lot of other design schools don’t.”

The most newsworthy events from my time as a student were the name change from Walla Walla College to Walla Walla University and the first full year with the new Administration Building. Also, engineering clubs would get together in Kretschmar for video game LAN parties. People would bring their 360s, Wiis, and laptops to play Halo 3, Smash Bros., and Starcraft all night.”

“

Colby Fullerton,

64 “

I’ve been here five years and in that time a lot of physical changes have been made to the campus. The gym floors have been improved, the Conard dorm looks better and has keycards, Sittner’s lobby has been renovated, the Alumni Building got totally redone, and more buildings on campus are now wheelchair accessible.”

One of the most important changes I’ve seen at WWU is the addition of an amnesty clause into the Title IX policy. Before this amnesty clause, victims of rape and sexual assault on campus were often afraid to report their assault because they could be penalized if drugs or alcohol had been involved in the incident. The amnesty clause goes a long way toward facilitating reports of sexual assault, thus making WWU’s campus safer for students.”

Here are exerpts from creative writing submitted to The Collegian this school year.

“AFTER THIS, THEY WILL TAKE YOU TO DAIRY QUEEN”

Joni Harris

you made me feel like art — unusual and breathtaking you thought you could love me but time made us hard to understand and left me scraping out the truth like paint under fingernails.

So sweaty, late, and bare handed, you run your hands across and through the greasy wool. Begin picking out the drying blood, pine needles, dirt clods, the poop turds, all of God’s most celebrated nature from the clingy fleece. Megan Meyer

Lindsey Haffner Prose piece by Lindsey Haffner (on naked climbing adventures in France) “There’s one thing I’ve always kinda wanted to do…” “Tell me.” She hesitated. “Naked climbing.” I stared blankly. “You heard me.” A distinct, significant pause. Then I heard myself say, “Let’s do it. Today.” There wasn’t much discussion after that. I watched her scramble up the mountain like a snowy white gecko. Her climbing shoes looked severely out of place. She got to the top and issued a barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the wild.

Traditions from Spiritual Life VIXIE BAILEY RELIGION WRITER

or 125 years, Walla Walla University has had a commitment to improving the spiritual life of the students. From the yearly elected spiritual VP

of ASWWU to the dedicated staff and students of Campus Ministries, the traditions of Walla Walla University have continued to draw students closer

MORNING PRAYER In 2007, a group of students started meeting in front of the Administration Building on the way to morning classes. It’s on the way to class and it’s quick. It’s a way for students to connect with God and start the morning in prayer with friends and peers.

SMALL GROUPS Anyone on campus can start a small group. Over the years, Walla Walla University students have found God in small groups while knitting for local charities, rock climbing, or simply studying the Bible. With 14 to 15 groups on campus, you can easily join one if you don’t want to start your own, but either way, you will be blessed.

HISPANIC MINISTRIES This extension of Campus Ministries was connected to the enrollment office as a tool for advertising before it joined Campus Ministries in 2008. Over the years, this family-style worship has brought together Hispanic students as well as giving the rest of campus a taste of the harmony of heaven.

SHOFAR As Chaplain Paddy McCoy says, “The shofar is both a call to worship and a call to battle.” Paddy is actually the person that brought this tradition to Walla Walla University in 2008. While previously there was a countdown, now only a spotlight now shines on the person sounding the shofar to usher in Sabbath.

TUNNEL SINGING Much like the tunnels that it happens in, tunnel singing is and always has been an “underground event.” The organizers, who are never official, ask that no advertising happen for this event that has happened nearly every Friday night since the early 2000’s. There are currently plans for a glow in the dark painting for the tunnels to add to this already extraordinary experience.

22 // THE COLLEGIAN // SPECIAL EDITION

together as a community and closer to our Heavenly Father. Here are ten of the traditions that make worshipping together at WWU unique:

ANCIENT WORDS Scripture is meant to be heard; it’s meant to be shared. Each year since 2012, a program called Ancient Words provides a platform to share the power of the Bible with our campus. Ancient Words is a 72-hour cover to cover reading of the Holy Bible. Students that participated this last year in one of the 144 slot readings said that what they read was what they needed to hear and learn.

CIRCLE CHURCH

FIRESIDE

Circle Church grew from a 2001 group called the Awakening. The five founders believe that worship should be connected, and that family style connection quickly moved this after-glow event to the church service it now is.

Fireside was once a poorly attended residence hall worship that moved under the umbrella of Campus Ministries in 2004. Now it is headed by the residence hall chaplains and has a special way of bringing the campus together around a campfire in the Sittner Courtyard.

PRAYER, PRAISE, & POPCORN This Campus Ministries after-glow started four years ago and is now a bi-weekly event for all those wishing to sing, pray, and fellowship as Sabbath starts.

BEREAN WORSHIP According to Pedrito Maynard-Reid, “The first Sabbath Berean Fellowship was inaugurated was Oct. 2, 2004. The Black Faculty and Staff Fellowship was responding to the black churches in the North Pacific Union Conference... [which] were asking for a worship style that met the needs of the students from their churches who attended Walla Walla College.” Since then, Berean has grown to a wonderful cultural experience that not only connects the African-American young adults here at Walla Walla, but also brings the rest of the campus a better understanding of their uniquely beautiful style of praise.

Walking with Jesus in WWU CHRISTINA MORAN DEVOTIONAL WRITER

aking care of our relationship with God in today’s society is hard. But when we dwell in a spiritual environment with fellow believers to help build our relationship with Jesus, the road to a closer

walk with Him is smoother. We have people who can hold us accountable and who can mentor us in our ever-growing relationship with Jesus Christ. I asked

“Since coming to WWU, I’ve found a new family. And with this, I’ve created new bonds with people who’ve helped me grow closer to Christ, which also helped me learn more about myself. I’ve learned so much about God’s love through the people I’ve met here. Their support during my hard times is proof of God’s never-ending peace and love. My personal relationship with Christ has grown because I’ve been able to see His love and mercy through the people I’ve met.”

Diana Mignott

Isaac Arakaki

“Walla Walla University has impacted my walk with Jesus by introducing me to people who love, encourage, and challenge me. Further, Walla Walla has given me a venue to ask questions, serve, mentor, and be mentored.”

Carla Johnston

Fiona West

“Walla Walla University has impacted me by making me appreciate the importance of having personal devotions, setting time aside for reading the Bible, and talking to God. Being ‘independent’ and away from home has made me take ownership of my relationship with God and think about what I believe and why I believe it, and how I should try to implement those beliefs into my daily life. WWU has also helped me to develop trust in God in the situations that I encounter, which only happens if I have a daily relationship with Him.”

“Being here at Walla Walla [University] has helped in my walk with God because I’ve been able to make so many friends who I can talk with about spiritual things. There are also so many worship opportunities. My favorite is Heubach and vespers because the music brings me closer to God.”

“Walla Walla University has a friendly atmosphere filled with people who are willing to listen and relate to your struggles, which helped me out a lot with determining where I was with my walk with God since everyone is willing to try to understand and help out. Knowing that there are people who are in a similar situation opened my eyes to Christ even more.”

a couple of Walla Walla University students, “How has WWU impacted your personal walk with Jesus Christ?” The following responses were given:

“Since coming to college I’ve had the chance to discover what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus instead of simply piggy backing off the relationship my parents had with Him. No one makes me go to Sabbath school, church, or vespers so it’s a decision I have to make for myself and that is a decision that I have found to be very fulfilling… I’m grateful that Walla Walla University offers so many opportunities through which I can strengthen my relationship with Jesus. It has not always been easy but I realize that it is a vital step in transitioning into adulthood.”

Tabitha Lee

“By being at WWU, I have been surrounded by people with a similar faith. This, however, has caused me to examine why I believe what I do, as I have been more exposed to the various aspects of Adventism, which often leaves me with more questions than answers. However, I feel this is an essential process to true faith, and I am grateful to have a setting in which to examine my faith and claim it for my own, instead of simply assuming truth because it is what I was brought up in.”

Laura Egolf

“Different ministries and new friendships have been a blessing for me. I came as a transfer student that went to public school all my life. I did not know anyone here when I first came last year, but now I am a coordinator of a ministry (Hispanic ministries, Mondays at 7 p.m.—we speak English) God has given me opportunities to meet some pretty wonderful people that I know I can count on if I need prayer, love, or a spiritual slap to my face. Especially the faculty and staff here-the whole theology department and the chaplain’s office has been a huge blessing on my walk with Jesus (shoutout to P. Dibby, Cosaert, D.T., and my homie, Paddy, who give me advice, point me back to Christ, and pray for me). God gives us opportunities and people who love Him so we may meet Him. It’s up to us to take those opportunities. And if anyone reads this and lacks a spiritual connection, a friend, or a laugh, I’m here to help you with all the above and to point you to Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith.”

Joey Barajas

“Coming from three years at a public high school, when I came to Walla Walla University I was struggling with a lot of things: finding people I could relate to and have fun with, learning how to be away from home, dealing with a crumbling relationship, and finding direction in life. Walla Walla became the building block that God used to put amazing people, worship experiences and challenges in my life. I’ve never been happier in my life!” Miranda Aus

Laura Egolf

Miranda Aus

“Walla Walla doesn’t force you to go to church or to seek out God. Rather, WWU gives you many opportunities to seek out God for yourself, and that has honestly been a blessing because I don’t feel like my relationship with God has been manufactured. I’ve been through so many instances where people have legitimately tried forcing their beliefs on me and that has honestly turned me away from the church for a bit. But once I started developing my relationship with God without the stress of reaching the expectations people had for me and my relationship with God, it felt so liberating. I don’t think I would’ve had this experience if I had gone to another school. The worship opportunities and the people...gave me the desire of wanting to further strengthen my personal relationship with God.”

The Foods That Make Us: The Yogi MASON NEIL FOOD COLUMN

The Express has been a facet of the Walla Walla University campus for many years, but it was originally known as The Dairy or The College Dairy. Before it became the business it is today, it operated as a farm that supplied dairy to the college and the surrounding area. Students could work at the farm or help deliver the milk. The Dairy also had a snack bar and an old-fashioned soda fountain. It has been a timeless part of our campus’ history, and it’s embedded in the memories of many alumni. One of the most famous foods The Express serves is the yogi, a burger-like sandwich with vague origins.1 For some alumni who live Burger buns further away, making the yogi at home is the only “Meatless Chicken Style” from way to remember the Worthington, sliced ¼ inch thick classic sandwich. Follow the instructions below to Provolone walk down memory lane and create your own yogi Yogi sauce2 (Mix 1 cup masterpiece.

Ingredients:

mayonnaise to 1 Tbsp. relish.) Lettuce Tomato Pickles Onions

While working at The Express, several generous people offered me the story of the yogi’s originator. Each one was different. 2 Another ambiguous part of the yogi—the sauce seems to have changed over the years. This recipe reflects a more recent incarnation of the yogi. 1

While toasting the burger buns, put the Worthington chicken in an oiled skillet on medium heat. Place the provolone over the chicken and allow to melt. While working at the DX, I would often sprinkle some garlic salt on the provolone and ditch the sauce to make things a little more interesting. Flip the patty and let the cheese get a good crispy layer. Spread the sauce on the buns and stack up the veggies however you like. Add the patty, top with the last bun, and finish with a toothpick through the center. Serve immediately and enjoy with friends.

elcome to Student Style, where we explore Walla Walla students’ unique style and fashion choices. Today, we have a very special issue in honor of Walla Walla University’s 125th anniversary. Obviously, student style has changed a lot over the past 125 years, but I think it’s important to take a

look at the unique styles on campus today. Whether someone enjoys pushing the limits of fashion or goes for the reliable T-shirt and jeans combination, I believe that each person’s style choices should be celebrated. I think a great way to see the variety of fashion

a plethora of connotations from animal testing and nuclear weapons to the eradication of polio and putting a man on the moon. Whether you like it or not, science is an important facet of society. Therefore, Walla Walla University offers a full palette of science

Heather Schlaman Senior: Biochemistry Major

JB: What is it like to be a biochemistry major at WWU? HS: Being a biochemistry major at WWU is very challenging because you have to complete many of the requirements for both the chemistry and biology majors. However, it’s extremely rewarding. It is interesting learning about how living things work on a macro- and microscale. One of my favorite parts of being a biochemistry major is how close each of the majors become with each other and the professors because of how few people are biochemistry majors each year and how difficult the major is.

106

Heather Schlaman

JB: What are the three best science classes you have taken at WWU and why are they great? HS: My three favorite science classes that I’ve taken at WWU are Biochemistry, Animal Physiology, and Quantum Chemistry. I loved Biochemistry, not only because of the information, but also because it taught me how to think in a different way and integrate information. Animal Physiology was very interesting. I really enjoyed learning about the physiology of the major systems in the human body and how they compare to those in other organisms. I really enjoyed the Quantum Mechanics quarter of Physical Chemistry because I learned why everything is the way that it is on an atomic level.

Judelle Johnson Graduate: Biology Student

JB: As a graduate biology student, what has been your contribution to the scientific community? What does a day in the life of a biology graduate student look like? JJ: Being a biology graduate student at WWU enables me to not only do research but to also teach a lab, both of which have been immensely rewarding experiences. I spend a lot of time preparing reagents and equipment to ensure that lab goes smoothly for my students. I did most of my thesis research last summer, spending long (but fun) days collecting and dissecting animals, doing assays, and analyzing results. I have since been working towards finishing and defending my thesis. I also attend graduate level classes which are tailored to help students succeed in the scientific community. WWU also provided me with the opportunity to share my experimental results with the scientific community at the Association for the Sciences of Oceanography and Limnology conference. Studying biology at WWU has prepared me well for whatever life brings my way. 26 // THE COLLEGIAN // SPECIAL EDITION

courses and trains scientific minds to fill the needed roles of researcher, medical professional, engineer, teacher, and more within society. Here are a few student perspectives on what studying science looks like at WWU in 2017.

Victor Wang

Judelle Johnson

Victor Wang Senior: Electrical Engineering Major

JB: What are the three best science or engineering classes you have taken at WWU and why are they great? VW: Introduction to Nanotechnology taught by Dr. Tom Ekkens gave me a good introduction to a wide range of subareas in nanotechnology that were fascinating. It gave me enough of a background to learn about things that interested me. The labs in the class were really interesting too: we got to build our own scanning tunneling microscope. Linear Network Analysis taught by Dr. Brian Roth was especially interesting to see because it connected basic mechanics and circuit analysis to real-life applications and taught me to understand system responses. Dr. Roth tied in real-life applications to the concepts learned in this class with neat projects like analyzing a mountain bikes’ response to different terrains. I really enjoyed working with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) in Digital Design class taught by Dr. Larry Aamodt. I learned to write in hardware description language and to configure the FPGA to do what I want it to. We built calculators, timers, and other cool things on the FPGA in this class. I enjoyed learning about how the simple things we take for granted actually required a fair amount of design work. Being able to work with FPGA’s was a valuable skill I gained from this class. In fact, I am using it right now for my senior project. JB: What are some ways (extracurriculars, internships, research etc.) WWU engineering students can accent their core curriculum to become well rounded applicants for graduate schools? VW: I think that involvement in projects is the best way to supplement the school curriculum. There are many opportunities to get involved with different projects on campus: there are the Engineers Without Borders projects, the annual UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) project, and even personal projects from engineering professors. In addition to on-campus projects, there are also great internship opportunities available outside of WWU. The best way to get experience is really just to ask professors and do some searching on your own. To better prepare for graduate school and applications, it may also be helpful to start defining your research interests and to educate yourself in your field of interest by reading research publications and taking additional courses.

Levi Evans Senior: Biology Major

JB: What are the three best science classes you have taken at WWU and why are they great? LE: My favorite class was Animal Physiology. The concepts learned in this class were very practical, as it was mainly about the physiological function of the human body. I really enjoyed the flipped classroom with online lectures and in class activities. This atmosphere really helps students to learn at their own pace. Biochemistry was my second favorite class. This class integrated scientific principles that most science majors had heard of, but had never fully understood how they worked in the human body. Learning the complex system of how food is metabolized is in itslf reason for anyone to take the biochemistry sequence. Cancer Biology was my third favorite class. Offered every couple years at Rosario, this class helped me to understand the potential pathways that can go awry in a body, leading to cell proliferation and cancer, which affects almost everybody. The Journal Club aspect of this class really expanded my competencies in reading scientific literature, as well as learning through class discussion rather than lecture.

Chris Ghazal Mechanical Engineering,

former Engineers Without Borders President

JB: How have your experiences with EWB complimented your in-class education in science? CG: On the surface, EWB provided me with a practical, hands-on component to my in-class education. Deeper than that, my work with EWB helped me realize that the most important component of a successful engineering (or science) project is the personal one. Often times, the solution to the engineering problem would be clear if it were not for the social consequences of each solution. I believe that this realization will benefit me in every single project that I take on for the rest of my career. JB: In what ways has WWU’s chapter of EWB contributed (globally or locally) to the world recently? CG: EWB performs a great service in partnering with communities, non-governmental organizations, and others to complete development projects. But I would not describe that as the main contribution that EWB makes. The most impactful thing that EWB does is allow young people to explore their dedication to service by working on a real-world project. It affords us the opportunity to step up and tackle a challenge that is focused on others. There is tremendous opportunity for personal, professional, and spiritual growth here. In this way, it builds people who will be leaders in their communities and promote goodness around the world.

JB: How has working as a laboratory teaching assistant for the biology department complemented your in-class education in science? BS: Working as a teaching assistant for Anatomy & Physiology Lab has given me invaluable experience as a teacher. Prior to this job, my classroom and laboratory experiences had been carried out as a student. While the contrast of the roles of a TA and a student is enormous in many capacities, I believe the most important benefit I’ve gained as a teaching assistant is realizing the level of understanding necessary to teach effectively. Involvement in a learning environment from a teacher’s perspective has shown me I don’t fully understand something unless I can teach it to others. The ability to learn to the point where I can explain facts and concepts has carried over into my own learning experience. I often confirm my knowledge of a subject by checking that I can clearly articulate what I think I understand to others-a technique I believe has helped make me a better student. JB: What has been the hardest part of your science studies thus far? BS: Studying science is an endeavor filled with many challenges. While there have been many difficult concepts presented in several of the classes I’ve taken, it hasn’t been the conceptually difficult class load that’s proved most troublesome. For me, the hardest part of studying science thus far is the amount of labs. Labs are timeconsuming and can be very frustrating. Often, unexpected results are achieved even when procedures are rigorously followed and experiments are carried out without noticeable error. Additionally, having multiple labs from multiple classes each week occupies many hours, reducing the time that can be spent on any number of life’s various other activities.

JB: What are some extracurricular activities you have gotten involved with to supplement your science studies at WWU? LE: Sometimes extracurricular activities can be the best way to learn science. Being submerged in a field of science can lead to hands on learning. I participated in a mission trip to the Marshall Islands, where I assisted a ophthalmology team. This experience helped me to better understand medicine, more specifically the eyeball. I worked a summer with Dr. [Kurt] Onthank researching octopuses. This research really helped me to fully understand the concepts that I was taught in biology and chemistry classes that applied to ocean acidification and animal physiology.

Bradley Snow Sophomore: Biochemistry Major

Chris Ghazal

Ethan Peterson Sophomore: Physics Major

JB: What is it like being a part of the physics department of WWU? EP: The physics department is super. I became a physics major after being undecided for my first year of college so I am off the conventional track of physics majors at WWU, but the professors have been very helpful. Each of the physics teachers encourage me to come to them with questions about physics, math, or related subjects, and they are very engaging at a personal level. It is a small program however. There are fewer than 20 physics majors, I believe, so we need more! Despite the few numbers of students, the professors run quality classes and are committed to mentoring students and helping them to understand the concepts even if they are not physics majors. JB: Which classes are you most excited to take in the near future? EP: Three classes stand out to me that I am planning to attend next year. The first is Biophysics, a class that takes an in-depth look at biological systems and structures and how they interact from the perspective of physics. This is exciting because I feel that this class will pull back the curtain, so to speak, on the biology classes that I have taken and help me to better understand how systems work. The second class I am looking forward to is Introduction to Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology not only has applications for the tech industry, but also for medicine, which is ultimately where I am planning to go with my degree. The third class I am looking forward to is Experimental Physics. I have heard that this class is mainly running experiments and having fun with equipment and gadgets to learn the concepts of physics through observation. To me this sounds fun because seeing physics in action just brings it all together and I think that it is vital when learning about the physical laws to see them at work.

ust in case you skipped literally all of this week’s paper, this is our special edition, in celebration of WWU’s 125th anniversary. If you think about it, 125 years is a super long time for anything to stick around. Sure, Galapagos tortoises apparently live for, like, 175 years, but what do they do besides walk around real slow? Nothing. We’re so much cooler than them, so it doesn't even matter that they've got 50 years on us. Plus, we’ve definitely outlasted Blockbuster. And Gottschalks. And Taco Bell. Kidding... just wanted to make sure you were paying attention. Anyways, what I'm basically trying to say is yay Walla Walla University for being around since 1892. I was going to write about WWU’s very beginning, but then I figured that's probs what most of the other writers are gonna do, so I decided to do somethin’ a little different. I’m gonna channel my inner Ms. Frizzle and take you guys on a history field trip featuring our dear, lovely campus. So buckle up, cuz this is gonna be one crazy ride.1

The dorms haven’t changed much, they’re still just cold, dark caves with really bad Wi-Fi. Hunters and gatherers go on campfire vespers dates. The engineering department won’t stop bragging that they just invented the wheel... like, yay. We get it, you’re all so smart.

WWU is super cold. There’s snow everywhere, and everyone’s miserably slippin’ and slidin’ on the ice. It’s basically the exact same as what we went through this last winter quarter, except with igloos for classrooms, and a couple woolly mammoths stumblin’ around Centennial Green.

Jesus’ Time on Earth All the students refuse to wear anything but Birkenstocks, so I guess that hasn’t really changed here in the PNW. Some people weren’t so sure about Jesus, but after he turned water into wine at that wedding, he was invited to literally every party ever. Mary and Martha are the super welcoming co-presidents of ASWWU, and they’ve made it their mission to memorize every student’s name and favorite color. John the Baptist works at The Atlas, and he’s always trying to convince students to try the new locust and honey chai tea or whatever.

Middle Ages

WWU is a manor, run by Lord McVay. The students are all serfs, except the basketball players; they’re the knights of the round table or whatever (To be honest, I don’t know a lot about the Middle Ages so work with me, please). The food is the absolute worst, so imagine our cafeteria without the pasta line. The Dairy Express workers are all milkmaids. Everyone probably dies from the plague.

Roaring 20’s

President McVay is still Adventist, but he’s also the number one mob boss (think Al Capone vibes, minus the cigars/liquor/murders). The campus jazz band is super popular. The Atlas has a speakeasy in the basement, but it only serves Martinelli's, of course. Jay Gatsby is a student at Whitman and throws all the craziest frat parties, but Daisy can never go because she always has work #RAlife.

The 92nd Year of the 19th Century JONI HARRIS COLUMNIST

*spoiler alert* A leap year, Ellis Island opens to receive immigrants, the first public game of basketball is played; General Electric is established; Homer Plessey is arrested; a woman is admitted to Yale University; Bulgaria gets the electric light bulb; Thomas Edison patents the twoway telegraph; the Pledge of Allegiance is written; The Nutcracker premieres; Andrew Carnegie monopolizes the steel industry; Louis Vuitton dies; J. R. R. Tolkien is born; and Walla Walla College opens its doors.1

Pretty crazy year, am I right?

that Premium dusted the top of their white square crackers with salt and began to call them Saltines. The cracker became hugely popular through the company’s use of the slogan “Polly wants a cracker?” In 1898, a few mergers, which included Premium, created Nabisco. Nabisco trademarked the term “saltine” but lost ownership of the trademark when “saltine” began to be used generically to refer to any similar cracker. The Saltine became popular in the roaring ‘20s and then really took off during the Great Depression. The crackers could be used to make almost any dish more filling. Saltines are now sold in small packs of two almost anywhere you can buy soup or salad and have even been included in the U.S. military food rations.4 Now, why were WWC students taking something so delightfully crispy and putting them in milk where they get soggy? Well, it is simply a cheap meal that also tastes quite decent, perhaps even good. The crackers also can be relieving of an upset stomach. So, may we be as strong-boned and have as calm of stomachs as our predecessors!5

116

The craziest part? The first meal at WWC was a breakfast of “white crackers and milk.”2,3 Now, my first reaction was to assume those would be Saltines, but, after a little research, I can’t be so sure. According to saltinecraker.com, Josiah Bent of Newburyport, Massachusetts set out to create a cracker that could be taken on ships and stay fresh. Bent’s creation was called a soda cracker, and it wasn’t until 1876

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1892 http://www.historylink.org/File/9023 Feel free to make comparisons between WWC’s first meal and the scene in “Get Out” when Rose munches on fruit loops and drinks the milk separately. 4 http://www.saltinecracker.com 5 *cheers* (a glass of milk with saltines crumbled in it) 1 2 3
