- Experience: Vicky has eight years of experience in nursing including long-term care, transitional care, and medical/surgical acute care as well as a variety of nursing leadership roles including precepting, charge nurse, and admissions nurse.Teaching Approach: As a clinical instructor, I like to challenge my students to embrace independence and take charge of their own learning opportunities. I believe in providing support, encouragement, and feedback so that ‘How do I….?’ becomes ‘I just did…!’Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from the University of Arkansas; Associate’s Degree in Nursing from Century College; Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Metropolitan State UniversityVicky HendersonCommunity College FacultyBioNursing Program651-444-3879
- Experience: Valerie Wilwert has taught courses in General Psychology, Research Methods (advanced and beginning level), Social Psychology, and Health Psychology. Her prior teaching experience involves a variety of different age groups and locations (with some of the highlights including teaching high school level Advanced Placement Psychology, and teaching English in China!). Valerie’s specific areas of research interest include generational culture, and understanding how people might see the world differently just because of the time period in which they were born! In addition to many years of teaching, Valerie also has experience managing a psychological research lab, in which a large amount of time was spent mentoring individual students as they developed their own research projects.Teaching Approach: Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior, so what better way to understand these key theories than to learn how they apply to real life! I love to use interesting stories to illustrate key course concepts, and invite my students to participate in a lot of hands-on demonstrations in order to help make sense of the more challenging course concepts. We can learn so much about psychology, just from looking around us and identifying its everyday applications. In my undergraduate years, I have to admit that I used to be a bit intimidated by scientific research. Through practice (and a few really bad studies early on), I began to love it, and I enjoy helping my students to help them the think about the world scientifically. I think that’s a skill that helps us every day!Education: B.S. Secondary Social Studies Education, Bemidji State University; B.S.

- Experience: Tim Grebner has over 30 years of college teaching experience in mechanical and electrical engineering. His industry work experience has included working at a small solar energy firm to designing electro-mechanical machines at 3M.Teaching Approach: I believe teaching and learning should be participatory because students learn best when they are active learners. In addition to classroom problem solving, I incorporate team based projects where students may design, fabricate, test, document, and communicate their work. Finally, I believe that developing good habits in students is very important - habits such as being conscientious, timely, organized, inquisitive, and tenacious. My hope is that students utilize the environment I foster to become better problem solvers, more responsible learners, and acquire skills and habits that will be useful in their careers so they are empowered to make a positive impact on society.Education: Masters Degree, Engineering, University of Minnesota.Hobbies: Bicycle Touring, Cross Country Skiing, Canoeing, Playing in the Fab Lab, ElectronicsTim GrebnerFacultyBioEngineering651-444-3990

- Experience: Ruth Wollersheim teaches Humanities, Film Studies, and Gender Studies, and is the current Gender Studies Program Director at Century College. She received a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in an interdisciplinary program called Modern Studies where her areas of concentration were feminist film and media studies, feminist theory, and cultural studies. Her dissertation examined the popularity of the desperate housewife character in innumerable films, television shows, and cooking blogs. Ruth has been teaching at Century for over 10 years.Teaching Approach: Ruth’s philosophy for teaching and learning comes from her strong commitment to social justice and equity as well as her background in interdisciplinary teaching and learning in the broader humanities, such as in film and critical media studies, gender studies, and English literature and composition. In other words, she believes in the transformative power of storytelling across disciplines, identities, and cultures. She also considers teaching and learning a matter of continual trial and error. Ruth loves the energy of the classroom and is always concerned when you are not there. Additionally, she really, really, really wants you to succeed and find strength in your journey and your unique identity.Education: PhD, Modern Studies, (focused on culture, media, and theory); Women’s Studies Graduate CertificateHobbies: Her other passions include craft beer, saunas, lake swimming, canoes, Bernese Mountain Dogs, vintage dresses, and human rights.Ruth WollersheimFacultyBioHumanities651-444-3582

- Experience: Robert Jersak has been teaching Communication coursework in the Minnesota State college and university system for over 15 years.

He is currently pursuing a certificate in documentary studies at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University in Durham, NC. Robert has also taught storytelling, creative writing and podcasting workshops across the Twin Cities metro area.Teaching Approach: I believe that Communication Studies is a field of praxis - with roots in the Humanities and the Social Sciences - and that all students benefit from an understanding of theory as well as how these theories actually function in our personal and professional lives. That means that I’m always learning as I teach, and that my students are often teaching me (and others) as they learn. I believe in support, guidance, mentoring and potentially-transformative active learning experiences.Education: MA, Communication Studies, Minnesota State University - MankatoHobbies: Filmmaking, Podcasting and WritingRobert JersakFacultyBioCommunication Studies651-444-3347

I am a faculty member whose approach to teaching is founded in blending two worlds (international & USA). I strive to create a space that allows my students and I to go beyond the standard confinement of learning and instead exposes them to diverse knowledge. Furthermore, this provides a foundation for my students to apply their own lived experiences to enhance their learning consequently helping to bridge any gaps that may exist amongst the students or representations in the subject matter.Education: 1) Master’s in Dental Hygiene from University of Minnesota School of Dentistry; 2) Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from University of Minnesota School of Dentistry; 3) Diploma in Dental Assisting from Century CollegeRita GordonFaculty/Program DirectorBioDental Assisting651-444-3083

Being creative is an ability or skill that can be nurtured and learned, as well as neglected or lost, and my approach to teaching is to place value on real world and every day skills. Artistic things are cathartic to teach and learn, but in the end, we’re all just people who need to be able to clean up our messes and work/interact respectfully with one another.Education: B.S.

- Experience: I teach courses in child development, adolescent development, adulthood, aging and death, lifespan psychology, general psychology, social psychology, sensation and perception and statistics. My areas of specialty are children’s cognitive development and early childhood education. In addition to teaching college courses, I provide workshops on child and adolescent development to children, parents and educators. While these workshops span many topics, I have a particular love of teaching children and adolescents about how their brains work so that they can better understand their minds and bodies.Teaching Approach: I employ an asset-based pedagogical model in my classroom instruction and curriculum. This method involves spending the first week of class getting to know every students’ personal interest in the course, and adapting the curriculum to both reflect those interests, and to incorporate any relevant expertise individual students can bring to the course. A related goal of mine as an instructor is to help students make connections between course content and real life. To do so, I use a variety of in-class activities to both assist students in learning the material, and prompt the understanding that what they’re learning in the classroom has important real-world applications. I love teaching and I hope my students also love coming to class.Education: PhD, Developmental Psychology, University of California, Santa CruzHobbies: Enjoying lifeKatherine HeroldFacultyBioPsychology651-444-3664

- Experience: Dr Pfeiffer has been teaching chemistry since 1996. She taught 3 years at the University of Wyoming, 5 years at Hamline University, and has been at Century College since Fall 2004. In addition to teaching, she is Century’s site coordinator for the North Star STEM Alliance, funded by the National Science Foundation and 3M. The goal of this program is to increase underrepresented student success in obtaining bachelor degrees by providing them with professional development opportunities, introducing them to research and career opportunities in STEM, and helping them transfer to a four-year school. Dr Pfeiffer has also been active in the MN Section of the American Chemical Society since 1999, serving in many roles, such as Chair, Secretary, External Communications Committee Chair, and National Chemistry Week Coordinator.Teaching Approach: I believe students should actively learn during class time. About half the classes consist of my short lectures, followed by problems the students work out individually or in groups. The other half of the classes students work in small groups, where they are presented with data or information to interpret, then are asked questions designed to guide them toward formulation of their own valid conclusions. Through this method, students construct their own understanding of the material while developing skills such as information processing, communication, critical reading and thinking, and problem solving.Education: PhD, Physical Chemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison; BA, Chemistry, College of St BenedictHobbies: Aerobics instructor, Birdwatching, MN Master NaturalistJoann PfeifferFaculty/Department ChairBioChemistry651-444-3436

She is an international speaker on psychology and mental health and has published several research articles in peer-reviewed journals, which have been cited over 200 times.Teaching Approach: “I truly love teaching and helping all of my students succeed! I believe that we learn best when we are actually ‘doing something’ with the material, so in my classes, you will have frequent opportunities to engage in active and experiential learning and learn from one another. Since there often isn’t a ‘right’ answer in psychology, I also encourage students to think critically and scientifically as you learn new information. How does the information fit with your beliefs and experiences? Finally, I believe we can use what we learn in psychology to improve the lives of ourselves and others, so we often apply the information to real life so you can use what you learn immediately! I truly care about each of you, and strive to create an environment in my face-to-face and online courses where students feel they are understood, respected, and are comfortable seeking help. I am here to support you, encourage you, and help you succeed! Therefore, I frequently provide students with resources like a notes packet, study guide, and study tips to help you grow and develop as students. I love being a part of your academic journey and hope to see you in one of my classes!”Education: MA and PsyD, Counseling Psychology, University of St. ThomasNotable: Minnesota State Educator of the Year (2020); Minnesota State Board of Trustees Outstanding Educator Award; Minnesota Psychological Association Award for Outstanding TeachingJessie Breyer-PetersonFaculty/Program DirectorBioPsychology651-444-3662

Specifically unique to policing, my wish is to leave the profession better than how I found it and in the better prepared hands of our future leaders.Education: MA, Emergency Management, Walden University; BA, Metropolitan State UniversityHobbies: Family & BasketballDale HagerFacultyBioCriminal Justice651-444-3870

- Experience: Charlie Castro has dedicated her entire career to education, encompassing volunteer work, corporate roles, and formal teaching positions. Her passion lies in exploring how the art of rhetoric can shape historical outcomes and shape narratives for the future. For over a decade, she has primarily concentrated on instructing courses in Public Speaking and Interpersonal Communication. In addition, Charlie has shared her expertise through adult education workshops in the Metro Area.Teaching Approach: I hold the belief that students achieve optimal learning outcomes through experimentation and by establishing secure environments within the classroom where they can explore areas outside their comfort zones and engage in challenging discussions. It is my conviction that students thrive when they can extend classroom discussions and concepts into their daily lives, fostering ongoing conversations with friends and family. I also maintain the perspective that each of my students, regardless of the classroom format (whether hybrid, asynchronous, or otherwise), brings a rich array of experiences that consistently enriches my own learning each time we convene. Teaching is a captivating dynamic that continually ignites my creativity.Education: M.A. in Communication Studies, Bethel University, St. Paul, MNHobbies: 80’s music, Cooking and Baking, Enjoying each season with my husky, ReadingCharlie CastroFacultyBioCommunication Studies651-444-3832

He currently works full-time for the Office of Inspector General at the Minnesota Department of Human Services, as a supervisor in their investigations unit. Prior to this he worked for many years for private providers providing and directing a variety of human services.Teaching Approach: I prefer to teach in an environment that is highly collaborative and interactive. While lecturing is an important part of teaching in the human services field, storytelling and student led engagement can invoke thoughtful learning experiences as well. Students can expect to learn from each other as well as me as their instructor throughout the course. This angle can really bring diversity and inclusion to the forefront of conversation, where it ought to be.Education: Masters Degree in Health and Human Services Administration from Saint Mary’s University; Bachelor’s Degree in Human Services from Metropolitan State UniversityCasey EricksonFaculty/Program DirectorBioHuman Services651-444-3850

- Experience: Caroline has taught art and photography year-round at several post-secondary institutions for the past 14 years. She has taught at the Art Institutes International Minnesota, Century Community and Technical College, the Minneapolis College of Art and Design Continuing Education Department, North Hennepin Community College, and the University of Minnesota. She started her career on the cusp of the digital revolution so is well versed in both digital and analogue photography techniques as well as has been teaching online since before the pandemic. Recently she has been teaching digital photography using Adobe programs, focusing on specialized skills in digital editing and printing techniques. Beyond the technical she teaches conceptual thought, with students completing portfolios with an understanding of their work in greater cultural contexts. Her expertise has come from developing many classes from scratch, as well as making adjustments to institutional changes such as a new curriculum and short-notice class changes.Teaching Approach: My goal, when teaching, is to foster critical thinking and problem solving, as well as to help students develop their own style and ideas. My assignments consist of both technical and conceptual challenges so the students do more than just follow directions. Critical thinking is imperative, and these assignments help them to develop such skills. I recognize that each student inherently learns in different ways and address each learning style through a variety of teaching techniques. I also take into account the class dynamic as I alter my lectures according to the interests and needs of each class. Another high priority is to encourage new ways to solve problems and take risks in their work. Taking risks often brings out the most unique ideas. My students leave the class having confidence in their technical skills and experience trying new approaches, not being afraid to take risks in their endeavors.Education: BFA, College of Visual Arts, Saint Paul, MN; MFA, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MNHobbies: Photography, crochetting, and cats!Caroline SolomonFacultyBioVisual Communications Careers651-444-3953

Likewise, she is involved in students’ assessment at various levels and regularly participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) research program. Dr. Diji has also been active in the K-12 education system, including being an advocate of the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) model designed to close the achievement gap and help students with high academic potential prepare for college/university.

- Experience: Dr. Gryczman, born and raised in Poland, has 21 years of teaching experience and 27 years of experience as a nurse in variety of nursing settings & specialties such as: geriatrics, adult med-surg, telemetry, adult orthopedics, neurology, rehabilitation, epilepsy, oncology, behavioral health (adolescence, adult and geriatric), pediatric neurology, pediatric med-surg, orthopedics and pediatric med-trauma. Dr. Gryczman is board certified as an advanced holistic nurse, nurse educator, and public health nurse. She works at the point-of-care at Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare to stay current in clinical practice. Her special interests include clinical nutrition, holistic health and healing, nursing simulation and genetics.Teaching Approach: I like to help shape students’ lives, teaching them safe nursing practice that is based on evidence and delivered in a holistic manner. I like to role-model and teach them what holistic nursing is all about, how practice based on best evidence can change clients’ outcomes; how our being with another offers hope and gives new meaning to all that is lost and seems unbearable. I believe that by teaching nursing I can reach more patients and have a more tangible presence in the community. I am a strong patient advocate, student advocate, and a leader in the nursing profession. Currently, I teach clinical simulation and nursing lab. I believe that clear expectations and well organized course, with clearly stated objectives, are essential to students’ success. I combine structure and intentionality with flexibility in both planning and leading the class. I am clear about the course objectives but remain flexible and open to various ways of achieving them. My aim is to have students achieve the level of confidence and competence to engage in safe nursing practice. I teach students what critical thinking is all about and how to apply it to arrive at sound clinical judgment when making clinical decisions. As a holistic nurse educator I believe that safe learning environment, respect, and unconditional acceptance of all students are as fundamental to good teaching as knowing your subject, and knowing yourself. I feel privileged to teach at Century College.Education: Doctor of Nursing Practice from Metropolitan State University; Master’s Degree in Nursing from University of Minnesota; Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing from Metropolitan State UniversityNotable: March of Dimes Nurse of the Year Award nomination Award of Excellence– for the development of on-line Basic Concepts of Clinical Nutrition module Perkins Grant recipient for the development of on-line pharmacology module Presidential InnovationAnna GryczmanFacultyBioNursing Program651-444-3040
