Associate Professor
School of Molecular Biosciences

Erika Offerdahl is passionate about getting more students enrolled in—and excited about—courses in the molecular life sciences. She teams up with fellow faculty members to revamp both introductory biology courses and upper-division courses. The result is a complete undergraduate experience that is meaningful, memorable, and that gives Cougs a cutting edge after graduation.

Offerdahl is such an outstanding instructor that students routinely give her perfect scores on course evaluations.

Major: Kinesiology

My name is Emma Nankervis and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Whilst attending Washington State University I am studying Kinesiology: Sports Science. I chose WSU because I was offered a position on the women’s basketball team and I loved the people, campus, and family-like environment.
