  • Pre-Doctoral Counseling Intern | Counseling Services | guizare@plu.edu | 253-535-7206 | My name is Evelia Guizar; I am a 4th-year student in the Doctorate in Psychology (PsyD) program at Northwest University in Kirkland, WA. My passion for psychological well-being started early in my teenage years as I navigated the complexity of integrating my cultural identity as a first-generation immigrant.  Before becoming a graduate student, I worked in the field of Logistics, focusing on person-to-person interactions and professional relationships. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy to understand the whole person and how life experiences, environments, and situations impact a person’s well-being.  I embrace and respect diversity in cultural values, which make each client unique in their perspectives and experiences.  I believe that we all experience moments in our lives where a therapeutic relationship helps promote healing and emotional strength as we navigate challenges in our daily life. .

  • Assistant Professor of Biology | Department of Biology | lnervo@plu.edu | 253-535-7376 | My discipline of interest is developmental biology, which is the study of the processes needed for animals and plants to grow and develop.  Developmental Biology is an excellent field that intersects, genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology and comparative anatomy to answer key organismal growth questions.

    palate (ex: cleft palate). Currently, my research has focused on defining the molecular machinery that drives how cytoskeletal rearrangements during cell migration, cell shape changes and cell-cell interactions affect tissue formation. My research combines developmental biology, cellular biology and genetics and uses embryo development in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster (Drosophila) to determine how individual cell behaviors can affect 3 dimensional tissue architecture.

  • Professor of Biology | Department of Biology | behrenmd@plu.edu | 253-535-7565 | My teaching activities focus primarily on ecology and animal diversity.

    biogeography, primarily in aquatic systems. Much of my past research has focused on interactions between herbivores and algae in marine systems. This has included studies of geographical gradients of herbivorous fish diversity and how temperature effects on physiology may play a role in driving this pattern and the effects of fisheries and disease on sea urchins and kelp forest ecology. My current research projects include studies of the community ecology of rocky shores of Puget Sound, disease ecology

  • Professor of Chemistry* | Department of Chemistry | fryhlecb@plu.edu | 253-535-7530 | Craig Fryhle began his career at PLU  in 1986 working on organic synthesis targets related to natural products and potential mechanism-based enzyme inhibitors of the shikimic acid pathway.   He has mentored undergraduate  researchers in these areas who have gone on to careers in academia, industry and other pursuits.

    to PLU.  In 1993 he began a collaboration with Graham Solomons (University of South Florida) on the textbook Organic Chemistry (John Wiley and Sons, Inc.) leading to coauthorship of the 7th edition in 2000.   Their textbook is used around the world in eight languages.  The 12th edition was published in 2016, with Scott Snyder (University of Chicago) having joined as coauthor with the 11th edition. As teacher at PLU he has long been interested in innovative pedagogies, nurtured by interactions
