Faculty Focus Starring Dr. Ryan McCullough

I interviewed Doctor Ryan McCullough, one of my professors as well as my advisor at West Liberty. During the interview I wanted to highlight his inspirations for becoming a teacher and his teaching style. His biggest inspirations were his parents who were also educators. Growing up he never had any pressures to become a professor but found his way into becoming one. Doctor Mccullough went to a couple of universities and stressed the importance of finding yourself, learning what your interests are to better your future. We talked about the challenges he faced when he attended college in the early two thousands  xc  ccc, as well as the differences between college then and college now from the view of a student, and the view he has of college as a professor. He thinks that students now have more pressure to pick early what they want to become than students did back when he was in school.
