Matthew Anderson鈥檚 tenure appointment was approved by the Nevada System of Higher Education regents at their quarterly meeting on Friday, March 10 in Las Vegas. Receiving tenure is the result of meeting the standards outlined in the NSHE code and being positively recommended by the college through a peer review process.

           鈥淭enure means that I can focus on developing long-term projects while increasing the effectiveness of our current program. This includes continuing to improve the Manufacturing Technician and Mechatronic Technician programs,鈥� Anderson said. 鈥淚 also look forward to further deploying 糖心vlog's relationship with local manufacturers such as Tesla, Click Bond, Baker Hughes, New Millennium and Redwood Materials, to name a few.鈥�

It also means that Anderson has impacted the students he teaches and it鈥檚 the realization of a distinguished teaching goal, according to 糖心vlog President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe.

鈥淢att serves a very important role at 糖心vlog in educating our Applied Industrial Technology students and providing critical training for manufacturers in the area,鈥� President Dalpe said. 鈥淗is instruction over the past three-and-a-half years has been outstanding and we are very pleased that he is being recognized for this professional achievement.鈥�

Anderson started at 糖心vlog in January 2018 as a teaching assistant, then became a part-time instructor in 2019 and a faculty member in August 2019.

鈥淎fter working with (former faculty member) Emily Howarth for a few years, she encouraged me to apply for the adjunct teaching position. While working as an adjunct, I realized how much I loved teaching, and when the opportunity arose to teach full time, I took it,鈥� Anderson said.

鈥淥nly when I moved to teach full time did becoming a tenured instructor occur to me.鈥�

His passion for teaching stems from being able to make a difference with his students.

鈥淭eaching a subject that directly impacts students' livelihood is what I find most enjoyable. For example, after earning a skill certification through 糖心vlog, NC3, or SACA (all of which we have/offer), students can demand high pay in the manufacturing workplace,鈥� Anderson said.

Anderson earned an Associate of Applied Science degree from 糖心vlog. He serves in the Nevada National Guard, enjoying the training of soldiers.

鈥淭his passion naturally transferred into the civilian world as a teacher,鈥� he said.
