EuGene Louis Van Roy Instructor of Graphic Communication |
"Having taught at and attended large Midwest colleges and universities, the cultural differences at Chowan have made a significant impact on my philosophy of education. It is a very wonderful experience when you walk across our campus and students feel comfortable stopping to converse with instructors on topics that range from their academia experience to just the simple philosophy of the weather. It is also an enjoyable experience in the smaller class sizes so that I get to know my students. Because of this, I am able to work with each student on a more one-on-one basis. I have experienced that when students know that an instructor cares for them as a whole individual, they strive to achieve higher expectations".
