Posing with PLU’s tribute to the Norwegian King Harald V

Hi everyone!
My name is Megan Muravez and I am the new Student Intern at the PLU International Student Center. I was born and raised in Stavanger, Norway, to a Norwegian mother and American father. A lot of PLU students are confused when they find out that I’m Norwegian, because my first name is very American, but I’ve found it to be a nice way of blending in to the crowd.

Growing up, my family went on many vacations to the US, and I fell in love with American culture at an early age. This fondness continued to flourish with every vacation as I grew older. Since the age of 10, I’ve been determined to study abroad, where the United States ranked #1 on my list of destinations to study. Last fall, I finally made that dream a reality when I moved from my hometown to Tacoma in order to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.


Since coming here last fall, I’ve found that PLU has been the most welcoming environment I could ever ask for as an international student. Not only have I built friendships with other Scandinavians, but I’ve found it just as easy to meet and make friends with American students on campus. Fun fact: they love international students! Pacific Lutheran is a hidden pearl of the Pacific North-West, and I am so glad that I get to call this my home. I am only a junior, so luckily, I have a few years left of being a Lute!

    The GK Olympiad is a part of a student's academic career. It tests the student’s knowledge of general knowledge, history, culture, sports, etc. Most of the parents start their child to appear in GK Olympiad from 2nd class onwards. There are many subjects students have to prepare for the GK olympiad for which they seek GK olympiad for class 2. The need for GK Olympiad class has increased rapidly as there are many students who appear for the GK Olympiad every year.
