After working as a high school teacher for 34 years, Rita Strube retired from Plainfield High School in Indianapolis and transitioned to adult education. Three years ago, Strube embarked on a career as an adjunct instructor at St. Petersburg College, where she taught a Basic Keyboarding course at the Clearwater campus. Currently, she teaches CGS 1070 Basic Computer & Information Literacy in face-to-face format.
     “I get to work with quite a variety of age groups, with students up to 70 years old. It’s great because of the range of abilities and backgrounds. It is a maturing experience for everyone,” Strube said.
      In addition to being an adjunct instructor, Strube belongs to the National Business Education Association (NBEA) as well as the Delta Kappa Gamma sorority.
     Strube summed up the best part of her job in one word- “Students!” To see students who are intimidated by computers gain ability, knowledge and confidence in the classroom over time brings a great sense of joy.
