Profile
My goal upon retiring from teaching and administration in the public schools was to teach at the college level. This dream came true when I began teaching at Northland. The caring and commitment on the part of faculty and staff is exemplary. The personal attention, class sizes, and experiences of the teacher education faculty members contributes significantly to the preparation of future teachers. We are Proud to be educators.
