Nathan Heinze<\/em><\/p>\n

Five years at St Petersburg College! (SPC) It hasn\u2019t seemed nearly that long, so that means I must be having a lot of fun here.<\/p>\n

I started off as an online adjunct for SPC while teaching full-time at California State University (CSU), Chico. When Chico announced that they would be closing the extension campus where I was teaching, (budget cuts, imagine that in California), I decided to take a full-time job at SPC, and I taught management and IT classes for the CTM.<\/p>\n

I got to know the College of Business (COB) professors at SPC, but was then transferred to the College of Computer & Information Technology (CCIT), as I was the only COB faculty member with IT degrees. Since then, it has been great working with everyone here, and there is a lot of passion for what we teach. I know that comes through to the students.<\/p>\n

Right now, I\u2019m quite excited about the new Data Analytics courses I\u2019m developing; course development is extremely fun for me. I will have the Data Fundamentals course completed by the end of May and the Data Analytics course completed this summer.<\/p>\n

With all the work going on, my main focus remains on one thing \u2013 serve the students. If we make sure they are learning relevant material and they enjoy it, then we have succeeded in our mission here at SPC.<\/p>\n

For the department and in life, I am a big believer in open and honest communication. I know it\u2019s a clich\u00e9, but Jesus said it first, so it is wise \u2013\u201cDo unto others as you would have them to do you.\u201d I have always said, half the enjoyment of any job is the people with whom you work. Happy Easter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
