Appreciation from Afar: How Chileans Perceive Independence as Distance from Family
While still in the midst of their study abroad experiences, students at Linfield University write reflective essays. Their essays address issues of cultural similarity and difference, compare lifestyles, mores, norms, and habits between their host countries and home, and examine changes in perceptions about their host countries and the United States. In this essay, Jordan Worthington describes observations during study abroad in Chillan, Chile
Building Our Future Together
How Linfield turned the voice of the community into a plan for the futur
Guide to the Linfield Tennis Collection
This collection contains materials documenting the Linfield Men’s and Women’s Tennis teams over a span of nearly two decades, collected by Tennis head coach, Carl Swanson
Discussing Complex Issues Using Case Studies
Faculty Teaching Learning Lunch
FTLL presented by Wendy Sagers, ELCP Coordinator Wednesday, October 5 from 12 – 1 pm, in Dillin Northwest Dining Room
The case method is a way of considering the pros and cons of various solutions to a complex problem. Come discuss ways to use case studies in your classroom or club. See examples of how they are commonly used and ways to adapt them to your situation or topic.
Lunch provided by the Lacroute Initiative

Elucidating the role of Exo1 and Mre11 mutations in DNA damage response
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most deleterious types of DNA damage that cells combat. DSBs are processed by the 3′-to-5′ exonuclease activity of the DSB repair nuclease, Mre11, to generate protruding 3′ single stranded DNA (ssDNA) at DSBs. Exonuclease 1 (EXO1) is an evolutionarily, well-conserved exonuclease. Its ability to resect DNA in the 5′-3′ direction has been extensively characterized and shown to be implicated in several genomic DNA metabolic processes such as replication stress response, double strand break repair (DSBR), mismatch repair, nucleotide excision repair and telomere maintenance. Both Mre11 and Exo1 play a critical role in the DNA resection in DSBR. Mre11 is responsible for the initial short-range resection, which is followed by the long resection by Exo1 before strand invasion in DSBR. However, the regulation of this switch between Mre11 and Exo1 is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that EXO1 and MRE11 gene variants contribute to genomic instability by aberrant DNA repair. This project seeks to understand the potential role of disease-associated variants of Exo1 and Mre11 in defective resection function, thus inducing genomic instability
