Lenora Perry-Samaniego

I am a writer, an educator, and passionate learner. Married for 30 years, I am also the mother of three grown children. I have been an instructor for 16 years. I graduated from UIW when it was "The College," and I love teaching at my alma mater. UIW is a special place with an important mission, and I am fortunate to be a part of the UIW community.
