Faculty

Andrea M Twedt

Hello!

I was born and raised in Moorhead, MN. I left the Midwest to enjoy the sunshine in Phoenix, AZ for 12 years. I miss the AZ winters; I am not a big fan of the cold. However, most of my family lives in the Midwest, so family comes over weather. 😊  

I have a daughter, Kelsey, who works at Microsoft. A son, Jonah, who attends North Dakota State University. Most importantly, I have three beautiful grandchildren: Tatum – 8, Trystynn – 6, and Toni – 5. I am very blessed to have them living in Fargo. They have Nana's heart!

I recently got married to an amazing man. Not only did I gain a husband, but also two wonderful adult children, Ryan and Cassandra. 

I am a big sports fan! I am a die-hard Vikings fan. I also enjoy watching basketball, especially March Madness. I do not have the skill set to play these sports, but I do like to exercise often. During my free time in the summer, I like to be at the lake. In the winter, I like to travel anywhere warm.

I’ve been teaching communication in the classroom since 2003 and online since 2004. I love teaching and getting to know the students.

Along with teaching, I am the Director of Online Undergraduate Programs at UJ.

I look forward to getting to know you.

Andrea

My name is Luke Becker. A little bit about me, I am originally from Fort Dodge, IA and currently work full-time at Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge. My wife and I have two sons, Theo and Max! I did my undergrad work at Iowa State University, where I received by B.S. degree and did my graduate work at Upper Iowa University, where I received my Master of Business Administration degree with an emphasis in Economics. I have been in the business and higher education field my entire career and am excited to go through this journey with you this term. I am very passionate about online learning and all of the benefits that are presented in the online classroom. In my spare time when I am not working, I enjoy doing home improvement projects, being active outside, jogging with my German Shepherd, spending time with my son, and rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs when they play. A fun fact about me is that I have ran two marathons, including one with my wife.
