McPherson is someone whose job is to help and develop students acedemically as well as helping them develop students mentally. Mcpherson was able to give perspective on college when he was a student at rival school of West Liberty Wheeling University to the perspective as the Director of student development now being at West liberty University. He also gave perspective on what is different about college now compared to when he was in college in the early 2000s, comparing how easier it is to access information because of the technology that is accessible to the students nowadays. During the Interview Mcpherson and I talked about his journey to becoming the Director of Student Development and if that was what he always wanted to do career wise. He worked himself up as he went from a front office job into becoming where he is now.<\/span>\n\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-6696-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/westliberty.edu\/wglz\/files\/2022\/12\/Wid_Radio.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/westliberty.edu\/wglz\/files\/2022\/12\/Wid_Radio.mp3\">https:\/\/westliberty.edu\/wglz\/files\/2022\/12\/Wid_Radio.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I interviewed Chris McPherson, the Director of student development at West Liberty University.
