Welcome back to our continuing series of posts shining a spotlight on our adjunct faculty members. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ benefits immensely from the dedication, expertise, and diverse real-world experiences of our adjunct faculty. Let’s get to know Kyle Allison, professor of marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How long have you been at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI have been with Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ for over 2 years.<\/p>\n

What interested you in becoming an adjunct faculty member?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI truly appreciate the opportunity to provide my real-world experiences to our students as an executive in digital marketing. I am fortunate to teach many different marketing and business courses with Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ where I can mentor, guide, and educate students. I enjoy sharing perspectives on business strategies and witnessing students showing their critical thinking skills. That’s a fun atmosphere to teach in. Working as an adjunct faculty member at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ is unique because of the close-knit community of instructors, and collaboration between adjuncts and college administration is fantastic! Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ really takes their adjunct faculty seriously when it comes to their ideas for teaching and course content. Overall, they make us feel part of the community.<\/p>\n

What is your proudest Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ moment?<\/strong><\/em>
\nMy proudest moment at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ was helping the business department build out a reimagined undergraduate marketing degree. For a year and a half, I helped key members of the business and online learning departments brainstorm and put together a proposal for new and redefined courses. We’re modernizing the marketing curriculum for upcoming cohorts in the marketing degree program. I am proud of this because I took the lead on the program by identifying the courses and learning outcomes, and helped build out the major deliverables of the program. I was trusted as a marketing expert to put together a course that will give students in-demand skills and prepare them to be successful marketers with skills like critical thinking, creativity, technology, and analytics – important skill sets for today’s employers.<\/p>\n

What is something unique about you?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI\u2019d say people find it interesting I still go to concerts on a regular basis. I have probably been to several hundred concerts and music events in my life. I’ve seen many major artists including Paul McCartney, Britney Spears, Coldplay, and my all-time favorite band Linkin Park. Concerts are my favorite thing to do for fun, escape from reality, and connect with others who enjoy music! <\/p>\n
