Sarah Sanders
Sarah Sanders presentation is an artifact study of symbols (religious terms, religious art, and religious doctrine) within the Christian tradition that, upon examination, are inherently anti-Semitic, though not perhaps appearing so at first look. This research was done for her Capstone research project (the formal name for the senior project process that students undergo at PLU to graduate). She also discusses how she plans to use her primary research theory to perform interfaith conflict work in the future.

The Benefits of Having Bats [2010-7/18
07/18/2010
Professor Christine Portfors
Professor Christine Portfors, of Washington State University in Vancouver, is an expert on bats. You may have some negative feelings about bats and if you do that would be a very good reason to join us. Bats play a very beneficial role in our environment but we don't notice it because they are active after dark. They consume many bugs and insects you don't really care for. Professor Portors will also show us how to build a bat house. After hearing her presentation, you may want to have one in your area.
