It's Faculty Friday! Today we feature our talented and hard working Graphic Communications Instructor, Fran Williams!
What inspired you to become a teacher, and how has your journey been so far?
I wanted to make a difference. I am a vocational graduate myself and I had such a positive experience. My vocational instructor was a great role model and all these years later she is one of my dearest friends. When I became a mom it was a natural transition from the printing industry to teaching students about the industry, the schedule is more family friendly. I love what I do. The students teach me things every day and I hope I not only teach them but inspire them to be great humans!!
Can you share a fun fact about yourself that your students might not know?
Well I am sure most students know I'm a mom to two beautiful young men, but many may not realize I am an auntie to 39 nieces and nephews with more on the way!!! I have five siblings and my husband has 7 siblings!
What hobbies or activities do you enjoy outside of teaching?
I love going to the beach, concerts & baseball games. Reading & doing puzzles are some preferred hobbies. And of course spending time with my family and friends is my favorite thing to do.
What’s one piece of advice you would give to your students?
Treat people the way you want to be treated and always be kind.
