At a moment when viewpoint diversity has emerged as a contentious and defining issue in higher education, University of Puget Sound Professor of History Ben Tromly has turned his attention to the origins and implications of this growing movement. For Tromly, examining this concept has become a critical endeavor to understand how political pressures are impacting the landscape of intellectual discourse on campuses nationwide.
Here at the University of Puget Sound, students take their fresh insights and ideas far beyond the classroom, turning passion projects into reality through the Office of Experiential Learning’s Summer Research program. Working closely with a faculty advisor, they spend the summer exploring questions in their field and developing their own research projects. Along the way, they get the time and resources to deepen their expertise, whether that’s studio art, chemistry, or whatever they’re most passionate about.
