Since joining FTIUM in January 2020, Yvonne Lerew has brought energy, expertise, and a passion for student success to every class she teaches. She leads our Effective Writing and Effective Communications courses in the Associate’s degree program, helping students strengthen the skills that open doors in both their academic and professional lives.

Before coming to FTIUM, Yvonne taught writing, communications, professional skills, and ESL at St. Catherine University, CLUES, and Year Up. Throughout her career, she has been dedicated to helping adult and non-traditional students improve their lives and achieve their educational goals.

In addition to her teaching role, Yvonne serves as Director of Development for the Citizens League, where she leads fundraising and donor relations efforts. Her work there reflects the same values she brings into the classroom—building relationships, empowering others, and creating growth opportunities.

Yvonne’s educational journey includes a Bachelor of Arts from Oberlin College, a Master of Arts in Teaching from Colorado College, and a Master of Education in Education Policy and Management from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

We are proud to have Yvonne as part of our adjunct faculty, and we are grateful for the knowledge, encouragement, and inspiration she shares with our students.
