ELWS Alum Joe Erickson Recognized as Outstanding Educator

Joe Erickson, Alum of UMD ELWS and English faculty at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, was selected as an Outstanding Educator at the 2025 Board of Trustees Awards for Excellence.  

 

Dr. Erickson applies a community of inquiry framework where all community members in the class participate in both teaching and learning, which helps build student confidence in their identity and voice as writers. The MNSCU Board of Trustees Awards for Excellence acknowledge and provide systemwide recognition for consistently superior commitment to student learning and to encourage the ongoing pursuit of excellence at the colleges and universities of Minnesota State. (Text adapted from ARCC Press Release.)
