    When talking about locating sources for an assignment, students often remain task-oriented and focus on “finding” rather than on learning, and our own research demonstrates this remains true for many PLU students. In general, students already know how to search for information but are unable to apply what they already know into a new context. In other words, students need guidance with framing research questions, seeing patterns in the literature, weighing the relevance of evidence, and

  • In high school, Rebecca Crust (19’) volunteered at a community farm in Seattle which increased access to fresh produce for the local neighborhood. “I was just, you know, a kid out of high school who really liked gardening.” Naturally, as a first year biology student…

    love for the Community Garden continued. The hobby grew into a passion, and after studying plant disease with biology faculty, Rebecca decided to pursue plant pathology. They’re currently at the University of California Riverside getting their PhD. Working with the Diversity Center helped Rebecca grow beyond the garden too. Rebecca values the Diversity Center for giving them a working understanding of gender theory and social justice, which helped them incorporate equity into their work after PLU

  • Professor of Hispanic and Latino Studies | Hispanic and Latino Studies | byaden@plu.edu | 253-535-7283 | I am a proud native of Tacoma and first generation college student that began my formal second language study in high school.  My grandparents were native speakers of Gaelic who immigrated to Tacoma, so my love of languages and cultures started early. I stayed local for college, earning my BA in Spanish from WWU and my MA and PhD in Romance linguistics from the UW.  I was fortunate to be able to study away in many locations over the years, including Spain, Guatemala, and Russia.  In addition to Spanish, I have studied Latin, Portuguese, and Russian. I’m passionate about second language acquisition and linguistics as well as supporting pre-service ELL, bilingual, and world language teachers.  My service to PLU and to the profession is a big part of my lift outside of teaching and scholarship.  Most recently, I’ve served as the 2020 president of our national world language teacher association of over 12,000 educators (ACTFL) and I serve as PLU’s Associate Provost for Undergraduate Programs. .
