Since 2008, Eilene has worked in the library at the Portland Center. She was a work-study student at the Newberg campus library, so it is fitting that she ends her work at the university in one of her favorite places.

She has a gift for engaging students and helping them to grow and develop in the gifts and abilities God has given them.
Dianna has served as the adviser for the International Student Club and has also mentored a number of our student leaders, modeling a life of living for Christ and doing one’s best. Hugs, laughs and prayer are all common experiences for students meeting with Dianna, allowing students to leave her office with a genuine sense of being affirmed and truly known.
Please join us in wishing Dianna well as she retires from the university!
