Focus on RVCC Faculty

Brian Zaleski
Instructor, English

"By sharing my knowledge of culture and how I read it with the students, as well as taking an interest in their perspectives on culture, I have consistently found a common ground with my students. This practice also keeps me enthusiastic about teaching because as culture changes on a daily basis I am never at a loss for new material."
