Dr. Ericka Covington, associate professor of management and past faculty senate president at Coppin State University, has been named to The Arc Baltimore’s Board of Directors.

If you had not chosen your current profession, what profession would you choose and why? 

If I were not in higher education, I would have pursued law school and become a lawyer. I’ve always been interested in law and justice. As a child I remember being totally enraptured with mysteries and solving crimes. As I got older, it translated into wanting to see justice for those in need.

Favorite vacation: 

Rwanda, very memorable and absolutely beautiful

When I want to relax … : 

I practice yoga (I’m also certified as a yoga instructor)
