Though she only spends some of her time at CMU, Elise Carlson, EdD, loves engaging with students. When on-campus, she ensures that her students work through real-world concepts and problems together. When teaching online, she still fosters critical analysis and discussion among students drawing upon a variety of instructional techniques.

Whether guiding students through the interpersonal intricacies of organizational behavior, the fraught concepts of ethics or the detailed work of project management, she enjoys each course.

Carlson has had the honor of teaching at both the collegiate and high school levels, including business, journalism and English courses. She has also served on committees for developing future-ready students and school improvement. She likes to see students engaging with the content and each other, focusing on quality over quantity. 

She believes that our best learning sinks in due to care and application.
