Extracurricular Activities
When she's not teaching or consulting, Lisa Jo is usually out in the wilds of the PNW, leading backpacking, kayaking, and mountaineering trips, frolicking in the ocean, screaming around Chehalem Mountain on her bike, or playing an intense game of ping pong. Despite her seeming hyperactivity, she recently found that she's finally old enough to appreciate yoga.

Course Information

At Pacific University, all faculty teach a variety of different courses. Typically, we do not use graduate teaching assistants, which means that your classes will be taught by professors and that you will have plenty of opportunites to get to know the faculty in your discipline.

Below I have listed some of the courses that I teach. We are always developing and trying out new classes, so the list may change now and then. You can use the links to the left to read descriptions of the courses listed below.
