your students? I think I have learned that as important as making music at a high level is, it’s also important to make deep personal connections. Those make the music-making even better! All of my students are so different. I’ve learned that connecting with them one on one, letting them know I am empathetic and really care about them, is the best way to reach them and develop them as musicians. What do you hope your students take away from your classes? A fantastic musical experience that inspires

. “We’re not punching down.”   That approach directly relates to Dobyns’ activism, which started during his time as a student at PLU.

He said using media to bring people together is a natural progression. “This is a silly comedy about gaming, but we are also making a show that addresses meaningful values,” Dobyns said. “We’re not hitting people over the head.” He added that other shows he’s produced — including

As a Nevada-raised, queer student of color, they sought out—and found—friends within the Feminist Student Union club, Latinx Unidos, and Prism, a PLU space for queer, trans, and gender non-conforming students. Over the past few years, Hernández has also worked as the PR director for ASPLU, as the

: ever-increasing numbers of students participating in study away, increased student-faculty research and, thanks to the support of the Lilly Foundation, continued emphasis on leading intentional lives by exploring and seeking vocation. On that fateful quick visit in the summer of 1969 it was the people of PLU who impressed me the most and made my decision to join this community so easy. I met a few faculty and administrators that day, including Maurice Skones, my earliest mentor and predecessor as
