Tiina Mittler, Executive Director, CSUSB Performing Arts Center
The new Performing Arts Center at Cal State San Bernardino, billed as “a beacon for the arts” in the Inland Empire, made its debut Spring 2026. Tiina Mittler has been named the Executive Director for its inaugural season. What a huge job she has!
Dr. Sunny Hyon, English Department, Professor of Linguistics
It's fascinating that Dr. Hyon received her PhD at just age 27! And with that, she also got her first professor job here at Cal State San Bernardino. In addition to being a professor of linguistics, Sunny is also the coordinator of CAL’s Professional & Career Readiness Center.
Dr. Jessica Getman, Associate Professor, Music Department
Folks from the Inland Empire mostly associate Barstow as a stop on the way to Las Vegas. But for Professor Getman, this is her hometown where she began her musical journey. During her time at Barstow High School, Jessica became a musician on what instrument - guitar, piano? Listen and find out! It's an extraordinary thing to play.
Dr. Julie Taylor, Professor, Communication and Media
For someone who didn't like school, Dr. Julie Taylor stayed on through her bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees with encouragement from advisors. That's why she believes faculty advisors are so crucial to a student's success. And perhaps that’s why she was awarded CSUSB’s 2023-24 Outstanding Faculty Advisor. What an honor!
Dr. Erin Hall, Speech-Language Pathologist, Department of English
Dr. Erin Hall is one of the founding professors of our Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) Master's Preparatory Certificate Program. She hopes to develop new programs in SLP to address the lack of public university options in the Inland Empire, and prepare students for well-paying and interesting careers in the field.
Dr. Bibiana Diaz-Rodriguez, Professor of Spanish, World Languages & Literatures
Talk about filling the room with light and energy! Dr. Bibiana Diaz-Rodriguez does exactly that. She'll fill your ears with excitement, too. Bibiana joined CSUSB in 2012 and continues to expand her passion for teaching Spanish and theatre arts – it’s her perfect mix!
