Mike Bierschenk has a dual role in the department, both managing the Digital Media Project and supervising our communications team. Previously, he has worked within English as academic program coordinator (supporting the department's writing programs) and within Arts and Sciences Technology Services as an educational technologist (specializing in integrating new technologies with pedagogical best practices). He continues both of those foci in his current role, supporting technical innovation in teaching and research and ensuring our communications across multiple channels are friendly, welcoming, and accessible to all.
Outside of his professional role in the department, Mike is a writer, composer, arranger, and musician. You can find him onstage with the Columbus Gay Men's Chorus, who often perform his arrangements, and find his liturgical work in use among Three Cranes Grove, ADF, and other pagan spaces.
