Michael Crowley - Associate Professor and Chairperson, |
With Briar Cliff:
Since 1989
Teaching Expertise: Visual Communications (photography & graphics,
new media), Public Relations, and Media Ethics
My teaching philosophy: I
believe that each student is unique and learns in various ways. It is my role
as a facilitator of learning, to create an environment that students feel
comfortable and are willing to challenge themselves. I use various independent
and collaborative methods and activities so students can find
what works for them.

It is my hope that students become pro-active, problem solving, independent learners now and after their traditional education ends. I believe learning is a life-long two way process, and that I become a better person from this experience.
