Hi, I am Deana Hueners-Nelson. For the past 10 years, I have been teaching a variety of courses at DSU, including writing courses, literature courses, web publishing courses, and reading and study skills courses.

I am originally from South Dakota and currently live in Madison with my husband, who also is an English professor at DSU. During the semester, course work and committee meetings keep me pretty busy, but in my spare time I enjoy running, gardening, cooking, and entertaining friends. My husband and I live in a 109 year-old Victorian house, so we usually have a home or yard remodeling project in the works. And when we get a chance, we love to travel.

Our most recent trip included a weekend in the Cities to see  Bruce Springsteen in concert. In June, we'll be heading to Deadwood to participate in the Deadwood 1/2 Marathon. It will be my second race and my first 1/2 marathon. In July, my husband and I will either be teaching in China or standing atop a 14er in Colorado.
