Connections & involvements
The Department of English is exceptionally connected to the broad academic offerings of Pacific Lutheran University.
 Valuing the craft of language, especially languages other than English, the
department's faculty plays a significant role in PLU's outsanding
commitment to international education. Department faculty have recently
taught courses in London, Paris, Trinidad, Cuba, Ecuador, Australia,
and South Africa.
Many
English majors also journey to these places in addition to such
locations as China, Ireland, Norway, Spain, New Zealand, and Central
America.
At PLU, the Department of English faculty
is centrally involved in interdisciplinary education. All department
faculty teach in the First-Year Experience Program, a specially
designed program geared towards ensuring first-year students make a
comfortable and successful beginning of their college scholarship.
Department faculty are also found teaching in the Core II:
International Core program, a series of courses with a global,
world-view perspective.
English faculty provide leadership and teach in a variety of other
interdisciplinary programs, including Women's Studies, Global Studies,
and Environmental Studies.
Outside of the classroom, many English majors are actively involved in
PLU's student publications. Some write regular columns or stories for
The Mast, PLU's weekly newspaper. English majors often help to produce, or contribute to, Saxifrage (an annual creative arts publication) and
The Matrix (a bi-monthly issued-driven student journal). Some English
majors also serve as peer consultants at the Writing Center, a resource
for students who would like consultation on their written assignments
or would simply like to improve their writing skills.
