Welcome to New Advisors

Please welcome Jim Shelquist and Johanna Garrison to the Distance Learning Center staff.

Jim has been teaching in our Communicating Arts major for several years, and previously taught in the English department on campus. Johanna comes to us from the University of Minnesota-Duluth, where she has been a faculty member in the Social Work department. She will serve as Instructional Program Manager, overseeing our course and program development, course revision, and instructional quality assurance processes. Both Jim and Johanna will be advisors and will advise students previously advised by Sharon Lavine and Barbara Doherty, as well as those students advised by Ron Harshman and Cathy Pulkinen not yet been admitted to the Teacher Education Program.
