Outside the Classroom
Dr. Backus enjoys playing trumpet, piano, and singing. She also loves anything and everything that is Star Wars. These passions often find their way into the classroom, so don't be too surprised if she lightens the mood with a little karaoke or by playing some of the best Star Wars videos on the internet (check You Tube for the Star Wars bad lip synch videos!) She and her husband have made Hillsboro and ½ðɳÓéÀÖ University community their home, after moving cross-country from the Midwest.
