Dr Soques is a friend and mentor of mine, he also happens to be one of my professors. His story is unique and details how he became a professor at UNCW. His desire to make the world around him better all the while maintaining true to his morals can offer great insight that everyone, from a new student to a seasoned corporate employee, can extract. His personal approach to teaching through the application of knowledge and open ended assignments set him apart from traditional teachers. I hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
