Department of English
                                       The English Department’s mission is to prepare students to succeed in an increasingly
                                          diverse world. The department is devoted to an innovative curriculum that encourages
                                          lifelong learning, critical thinking and effective writing. We teach students to see
                                          textual work as an engagement with history, convention, culture and place so that
                                          they can participate responsibly in changing regional and challenging global environments.
                                          In particular, the department is concerned with Âé¶¹ÎÞÂë°æn cultures, the North Pacific
                                          Rim environment and the intersection of networked technologies and forms of textuality.
