Instructed: Introducing the Collegiate’s New Podcast About Delta Faculty

By Patrick Sochacki

One important part of the experience at Delta College is the teachers. Delta faculty can leave a lasting impact on the students that they teach. Whether the subject is math, english, or science, professors at Delta are known to be a positive influence on their students’ experience throughout their courses.

Patrick Sochacki, one of the Collegiate’s new reporters this semester, has a brand new podcast that reflects on Delta’s best professors.

Instructed is a series of short podcasts being produced for the Delta Collegiate to celebrate and showcase some of the teachers here at Delta College, along with students that they’ve influenced and inspired. 

Instructed will be covering professors from all different wings of the school, starting with the Arts department teacher Kimberly Wells. Kim is an associate professor here at Delta College along with being the Electronic Media Broadcasting discipline coordinator. 

She has also won two Emmy Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (Michigan Chapter) for her work in producing two documentaries titled “My 2 Brothers” and “Irene: Child of the Holocaust.”

You can hear more about those films during her interview for the show. The episode also features interviews from Cameron Dutcher, a current Delta student, and Mark Grzegorczyk, Delta alumni, both of whom were in the Electronic Media program.

Instructed will be put out bi-weekly on Tuesdays, the same day the Delta Collegiate is put on the newsstands. If you’re reading this, then the first episode should be available now. Go check it out in the embedded player at www.deltacollegiate.com.

In addition, Patrick is looking for ideas for future episodes. What teacher at Delta College has inspired you or left a positive impact on your life? Patrick would love to hear from you! Hit him up on Twitter @SochackiPatrick, or email us at deltacollegiate@gmail.com.
