New Director of Southeastern Business College, New Boston Campus

I have been teaching business communications at Southeastern Business College in New Boston, Ohio, for almost two years now. The college has just been purchased by the Daymar Colleges Group from Owensboro, Kentucky. Because Southeastern Business College in New Boston was owned by Samuel Stephen College in Chillicothe, Ohio, and because Samuel Stephen College had four campuses, there has been considerable reorganization and realignment of duties and responsibilities.

When they began to look for a new director for the New Boston campus, I applied for the job. In addition to my abilities as an instructor, I thought I brought a serious concern for the welfare of the students to the table. In their evaluations of me, my students have always indicated that they felt I brought more to the classroom than simply knowledge of the subject. They have felt that I have a passion to give them the tools they need to be successful. They are right.

So called "non-traditional students" have for years been treated like throwaways. It is true that many of them, in their secondary education careers, did not take advantage of all the opportunities available to them. For whatever reason, they let their education fall through the cracks. But now they are ready to get back to business. Redemption is possible.

I am excited by the opportunity I have to help turn Southeastern Business College into an educational institution that truly changes lives one student at a time. SBC is perfect for people who want to earn a meaningful degree and get out into the job market quickly.

As I get settled into the job and great things begin to happen, I'll write more about this. In the meantime, I start on Monday.
