Hello and Welcome! My name is Nishele Lenards. I am the instructor for this course and excited to meet all of you. This is going to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for you. We will learn from each other throughout this course, so don’t be shy.

A little bit about me: I live in Prior Lake, MN but I teach online courses for University of Wisconsin – La Crosse. I am married with two children, ages 14 and 11, and my third child is a yellow lab. I am originally from Ohio (Go Buckeyes!).

I have been teaching in a face-to-face classroom and a clinical environment since 1992, but teaching online since 2003. I have completed online courses myself since the mid-90’s so I do know the feelings of an online student. In addition, I have worked in the clinical environment since 1988. This clinical experience will add value to the courses when relating curriculum to clinical instruction. All of you will be contributing to the discussions by sharing your clinical experiences with each other.

I have my calendar posted within the course content section. It shows where I am throughout the week, along with several phone numbers where you can reach me. My e-mail address is listed, and this is the best way to reach me. Please contact me via phone or email and I will get back to you shortly. Student questions or concerns are my highest priority!
