Sobre IBD

When a dormitory toilet is clogged, who’s the guy charged with fixing it? Who assures that benefits and work-study monies are paid and accounted for on time? And who is tasked with ensuring Luau goes off without a hitch or that students from Saudi Arabia know how to navigate the cultural idiosyncrasies of an American university? Meet the people who work behind the scenes at Pacific University—the community of staff and faculty—as captured by Pacific’s own creative writing and photography students. Their jobs and lives are varied, but their dedication to ensuring a dynamic educational experience in all its varieties is common between them. This book strives to capture and share their stories through the creative efforts of the students their work serves. Photographs by Cailyn Andreasen, Bronson Barretto, Malia Bartolome, Stephanie Bultman, Chloe Chambers, Cameron Chow, Anastasiya DeWolf, Emily Farnham, Caleb McGee, Emily Miller, Mahla Nelson, CarrieAnn Randolph, Marie Rewick, Lauren Tierney. Essays by Sarah Alanis, Cailyn Andreasen, Shalini Chedi, Bruno Gegenhuber, Abigail Godsil, Ashley Grogan, Josie Kochendorfer, Lesya Kravets, Jack Lloyd, Haley McKinnon, Max Medrano, Madison Meltebeke, Allyxandria Offill, CarrieAnn Randolph, Gillian Reimann, Ricky Ridela, Mikelyn Rochford, Zachary Skaugset, Sara Villegas, Samantha Wacker, Emily Woodworth. 3
