Faculty Spotlight

Mark Ryan

"I worked in the corporate world in various management and marketing positions for nearly 20 years before becoming an educator. The rewards I receive from working with students far surpasses anything I previously experienced in my career. It’s an amazing feeling to have students contact me a few years after graduation to provide an update on their life and career progress and then recognize Hawkeye Community College for the part it has played in helping them become successful. It’s so rewarding to watch students grow both personally and professionally, establish and achieve goals, and secure careers in their respective fields. It consistently motivates me to continue my work every day."
