Today we're spotlighting Professor Jenet Erickson! She loves the relationships she gets to experience with students, fellow faculty, and administrators. Seeking and teaching truth together with other faculty builds a special relationship, and there is a sacred connection with students when you are part of their journey to greater truth in their lives. That is a very personal journey, and a sacred opportunity to walk with them. Jenet Erickson is really grateful to have had the opportunity to learn through involvement in a range of academic experiences including as a Fellow of the Wheatley Institute, Institute for Family Studies, faculty member of both Religious Education and the School of Family Life, and writer for the Deseret News. Those experiences, on top of the grounding experience of being a wife and mother, have provided rich learning and relationships. She is grateful for such a range of experiences. A fun fact about Professor Erickson's background is her degrees in nursing and harp performance, with a master’s degree in Linguistics-TESOL, followed by a PhD in family social science. Heaven enabled all those different experiences to be powerful sources of training and truth that she says have blessed her life tremendously.
