Everything RVC

RVC's 2020 "Employee of the Year" shares her favorite RVC moments as she's seen them through her camera lens, reflects on the moment she realized she was the "Employee of the Year" and even gets to discuss her obsession with the Dave Matthews Band.

Amanda's mentor, Professor Dave Ross, takes us through his over 40-year history of teaching at RVC. We learn about how his life was transformed by a mentor of his own, how his teaching has evolved and adapted to the changing needs of students, and what passions outside of his career drive him. And if you want to know what a whimsical hippo is, well, you'll just have to listen. 

RVC's first ever "Rookie of the Year" award winner, Coordinator of New Student Enrollment Casey Hauser, stops by "Everything RVC" to talk about her approach to student recruitment and why she loves working with students. We also learn (most of) the names of her pet chickens, and where she would love to go on a free shopping spree. 

In this episode we chat with RVC's new president, Dr. Howard Spearman, about his career journey, what inspires him, why he loves RVC, and how we all can make a difference in the lives of RVC students. We also learn more about Dr. Spearman's athletic career and how he made life tough on opposing quarterbacks back in high school. 

In this introductory episode, co-hosts Amanda Kieper and David Costello tell their RVC stories, including how each of them has come full circle as RVC alums who are now long-time employees and ambassadors for the college. They also introduce you to what "Everything RVC" will be all about, and get sidetracked grilling each other with some silly questions.
