Dr. Elaine Young’s Summary
As a program director and associate professor for marketing and e-business management, my industry experience helps me bring the real world to both my classrooms and curriculum. I have experience in marketing, public relations, media relations, event management, internet strategy as well as an in-depth knowledge of interactive marketing techniques.
My professional experience, primarily in the non-profit and advocacy sector, has given me an appreciation for the importance of teaching students how to engage with the communities they are in, and how to apply successful business techniques to support causes and engage various publics. I am able to capitalize on this experience in the classroom by integrating experiential problem-based learning into the curriculum, which often involves non-profit and advocacy organizations.
I have developed and taught courses in internet marketing, e-business management, internet strategy, online visibility, non-profit and social marketing, social networking, marketing and marketing management.
I am currently the Chair of the Faculty Multicultural Issues Committee, and I serve as a division representative on the College Council.
