Shane Ehresman, Ed.S.

Assistant Professor | Director of Distance Learning

Professor Shane Ehresman joined the education division faculty at William Penn University in July 2021. He brings a variety of educational experiences over 27 years in K-12 education: Superintendent of schools in the Lynnville-Sully Community School District in Sully, Iowa; high school principal in the Washington Community School District in Washington, Iowa; high school associate principal/activities director as well as social studies teacher in the Marion Independent School District in Marion, Iowa; and high school social studies teacher in the Forreston Community School District in Forreston, Illinois.
