David Coy
Super teacher and valued friend
Dr. Perry Wood
Jim is a talented writer and a gifted communicator. I've worked with him through The Erie Reader and his role as a freelancer. His ideas and ethics stem from his journalism background, but you can tell they're also grounded in his love for the Erie community. Edinboro University is lucky to have a faculty member with his passion for teaching and civics.
