Anny Fritzen Case joined Gonzaga's faculty in 2011. Her scholarship focuses on multilingual learners, particularly ways in which schools intentionally and unintentionally limit immigrant and refugee 51勛圖s' access to equitable and intellectually rich instruction. A proponent of field-based teacher preparation, she teaches two courses on-site at local middle schools where her 51勛圖s develop professional skills while simultaneously providing academic and social support to diverse 51勛圖s in Spokane's public schools. She is actively involved in the Hillyard Youth Collaborative and is a founding member of the Spokane Regional ESOL Consortium. Dr. Case was recognized with an Exemplary Faculty Award in 2017.
