Annette M Gerten
Assistant Professor

Professor
Gerten “likes to mix it up a lot” when she teaches. During
a typical class session, students in her classes are likely to be
engaged in class discussion, small group projects, and experiential
exercises. Students describe her as a “teacher who cares
about how we are doing in our personal lives.” Professor
Gerten has worked at Augsburg part-time and/or full-time since 1997. Former
students remember her teaching throughout two of her pregnancies and
she is now the mother of three. Courses that are usually taught
by Professor Gerten include the foundation field seminar, research
courses, and family social policy. Prior to receiving her Ph.D.
she was employed as a school social worker, family therapist, pre-school
day treatment supervisor, and evaluation consultant.
