		    <description><![CDATA[ In the summers, Tyson Bendzak's dad used to ask kids who came home from college if they brought their unicycles to campus with them. He'd taught a majority of them how to ride in elementary school. When it came time for Tyson to head to PLU, he thought of the question his dad asked everyone else.So Tyson brought his unicycle from his hometown of Cordova, Alaska. And he started riding around campus. First, it was to and from church. Then, more places. Soon, it was hard to see Tyson on campus when he's not on his unicycle - he even wore his tire out. And he thought to himself, "why can't I teach others to ride, as well?"So he started a club. The L.U.N.I.C.Y.C.L.E.R.S. (Lutes with a Unique and Nifty Interest in Cautiously Yet Courageously Learning an Exquisitely Radical Skill). ]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[ Once a month Karl Stumo, vice president for admission, his wife, and his three children dine at the University Center's new dining commons. The five sit together and have what would otherwise be a nice family dinner, square in the middle of hundreds of bubbly university students. For him, it is a telling moment.“There are so many students there, from so many different places. There is so much energy in the room,” he said. “It is such a great example of what PLU is, and what it will continue to become.”It makes sense that Stumo would have the pulse on the campus – it is his job to recruit these students. And it is his job to know how the PLU campus is changing.And it is. A lot.PLU’s international student body is changing. So is the ethnic makeup of PLU’s domestic student population. Together, PLU is continues to grow into a stronger, more diverse place. ]]></description>

		    <title><![CDATA[ What will you do with your one wild and precious life? ]]></title>
		    <description><![CDATA[ PLU is a little different from most universities. You can see it everyday on campus - in the classroom, in the residence halls, on the athletic fields.
PLU students have a uniquely broad idea of what it means to be successful. A lot of that has to do with our Lutheran heritage. Students are asked to wrestle with issues of value throughout their studies so that they develop the skills and sensibilities to be successful human beings, living lives in service to others. For us, success means developing both a deep understanding of your possible role in the world and the tools necessary to benefit the world around you.
For instance, that's what these nine 2009 graduates did - upon graduation, they signed-up with Americorps to work in the schools, community centers and churches of Tacoma. Their common goal? To build community and make Tacoma a better place. "We all have a calling to serve the communities surrounding us," said Tyler Crabe. They are not the only ones. On the following pages, meet other PLU graduates who believe that tackling the day's issues, big and small is what university life is all about. They have asked themselves the question posed by poet Mary Oliver: "What will you do with your one wild and precious life?"
How about you? ]]></description>

		    <title><![CDATA[ I never thought I’d study abroad five times – and graduate on time ]]></title>
		    <description><![CDATA[ When Andy Guinn '09 came to PLU, the extent of his international travels was a single trip to Juarez, Mexico, just across the border from El Paso, Texas.
That trip was just one week. Considering where he's been since then - and the amount of time he's been away - that hardly seems like a big deal. Since Andy arrived at PLU, he's studied in Italy (twice), Tanzania, South Africa - plus a combined trip to Argentina and Antarctica.
For those scoring at home, that's five trips to four continents in four years. All this, and he still graduated on time. Suma cum lade.
His secret? January Term, the one-month mini-semester between Fall and Spring semesters. Andy spent all four J-Terms studying off-campus, plus one semester-long exchange at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. ]]></description>
