Maren Bradley Anderson Professor of English and Theater, CSUH Ms. Anderson graduated with her B.A. in English in just three years from Mount Holyoke College, a small women's college in Massachusetts. She has slowed down a bit from that break-neck pace, but she still tends to heap too much on her plate. Since then, she has graduated from Humboldt State University, where she earned her M.A. in Literature and Teaching Writing, worked as a production assistant at a national laboratory, and taught at many institutions of higher education, including CSUH. She teaches Shakespeare, drama, literature and composition, and what time she has left is spent writing plays, essays and keeping up her website. She was married just over a year ago to a computer programmer who shares her love of books.

Lindsay Dyer Student CSUH
Marcelline Krafchick Professor Krafchick, who describes herself as a well-preserved antiquity, first visited Greece in 1955, while on a Fulbright Scholarship in England, studying with the eminent classical scholar H.D.F. Kitto. She later lived for a year in Athens to learn the language. She earned advanced degrees in English and Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and U.C. Davis, published two books and authored articles and papers on such varied subjects as Henry James, Daniel Fuchs’ novels, Eugene O’Neill’s plays, the medieval queen Berthe of the Broad Foot, the art of rhetoric, and Homer’s Circe. Before coming to Hayward in 1964, she taught at San Francisco State and in the Honors Program at Santa Clara University, as their first woman professor. She is sentimental about former students, has attended their weddings and funerals, visited them as far away as in Australia, and has three times been tapped as godmother. She is (still) at work on an introduction to the study of mythologies.

Tara Trudeau Psychology Student CSUH As the daughter of two, forty-something, Southern California-raised, hippie parents, I was brought up reading everything I could get my little hands on with the expectation of becoming a freethinking conservatively liberal woman. Throughout the duration of my youth, the eclectic ranges of perspective I encountered through the readings of mythology and psychology books provoked my curiosity about people’s outlooks upon life and the causality of their values. My tenaciously outgoing urge to become in tune with the experiences of my parents quenches the satiety within my soul to seek my origin and find the answers to the “whys” of who I am. This journey I am taking through the memories of my parents, Lee and Carleen Trudeau, is comparable to the interest I have for humanity’s ancient traditions and practices in relation to contemporary society. Ancient civilization, like that of decades past, is but a mirror reflecting timeless notions of humanity that are taken for granted by the contemporary man in that people often forget who their ancestors were and as a result, lose their selves. Greek literature is like my parents in that it helps shed light upon my understanding of not only the origin of my thoughts, bu the origin of mankind’s academic successes. Mizgon Zahir English/Economics Student, Journalist, Editor CSUH Ms. Zahir studies English Literature and Economics at CSUH. Bilingual in Farsi and English, Zahir has many accomplishments. At 13 years of age, she was host of a youth program on a pioneering Afghan community radio broadcast and is yet active in the media as a producer, writer and speaker.

Currently, she works as a journalist of Pacific News Service and is editor of Afghana, a journal focusing on issues relevant to Afghani-Americans as well as international topics concerning Afghanistan.
