Tatiana Piatanova has been at Pacific for over 10 years. Her work as a Sr. Instructional Designer involves working with both staff and faculty, which creates a well-rounded perspective. This is her 3rd term with Staff Senate. When you don't see her working, she is probably on the trails exploring the Pacific Northwest with her furry companion.

Opee is a 10-year-old acting like a puppy. You can find us often hiking and going to the beach to frolic. I could not wish for more for such a loyal, sweet, and gentle companion.

Please join us in welcoming Molly Cooper, our new Assistant General Manager for Pacific Dining.

Commencement isn't possible without a great event staff team! Over 50 individuals are needed to greet guests, assist with student line-up, drive a golf cart, and perform countless other tasks at both the morning (approx. 7-11 a.m.) and afternoon (approx. 11:30-3:30 p.m.) ceremonies on Saturday, May 16. Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked, but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.

We’re excited to introduce Scott Holt, Pacific Dining’s new General Manager.
