Currently the English department chair, Professor Turnwall has been teaching English at Northwestern College since 1966, when she earned a master’s degree from the State University of New York at Albany. Since 1989, she has been active as an instructor, site director and steering committee member of the Iowa Writing Project (IWP). Turnwall’s contributions to IWP led to her receiving the organization’s Star Thrower Award in 2008. Founded in the late ’70s, the IWP has provided professional growth opportunities for over 8,500 Iowa teachers, including—under Turnwall’s leadership—60 members of Northwestern’s faculty. In 1999 Turnwall was the college teacher chosen to receive the Iowa Council of Teachers of English Literacy Award for “contributions to language development and literacy learning in the state of Iowa.”
