Brief Introduction: Dr. Lund came to
Southern Utah University in June of 1999 from the University of South
Alabama where he taught in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction
from the Fall of 1995 to the Spring of 1999. Prior to that time he spent
three years at Purdue University in W. Lafayette, Indiana where he earned
his Ph.D. in Literacy and Language while teaching classes in Content
Area Reading, German, and using the Computer to Enhance Reading and
Writing Instruction. He holds Bachelor of Arts and Master of Secondary
Education degrees from Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. Altogether, he has been involved in public education as an education student, a teacher, or teacher educator for more than 20 years. Dr.
Lund enjoys teaching at the University level, teaching a variety of classes regarding literacy in schools, educational research, and technology and tries to integrate
technology into all of his classes. In addition
to his University teaching, he is active in a number of local, state,
and national organizations concerned with literacy and education. He has been married
to his wife, Terri, for 31 years (as of March, 2007), and they
have a 17 year old daughter named Tiana, who is a level 9 competitive gymnast
and now in the 12th grade and will be the student body president for 2007-2008 at Cedar High School in Cedar City, Utah.
Terri now works for Children's House International (an international adoption agency--her office handles special needs adoptions out of China), as a homemaker, and volunteer for the Utah Shakespearean Festival. Besides work, Dr. Lund also volunteers at Tiana's
school, the Utah Shakespearean Festival, and the Utah Summer Games and is interested in racquetball, genealogy,
reading, computers, educational research, vacationing, fishing, disc
(kind of like Frisbee) golf, and working with young people.
