Luke Greeley | #BowTieTuesday
Introduction: This week’s #BowTieTuesday Educator Spotlight goes to an educator that I’ve met during my doctoral journey and has taught me quite a lot along the way. Surprisingly enough, he’s also the first #BowTieTuesday recipient to not have a Twitter, insisting that social media isn’t his “forte” all the while challenging me to include those that participate on LinkedIn as an alternative – recommendation, accepted! The Edu-Rock Star that I’ll be recognizing this week is none other than Mr. Luke Greeley, an Assistant Dean at the Rutgers Business School and a PhD Student and Instructor at the Rutgers Graduate School of Education.
Educational Pursuit: Luke has found himself steadily approaching the decade mark in education as of late. His educational career began at Bucknell University where he earned his bachelor’s degree. He then moved on to obtain his Masters in Higher Education from the University of Maryland and most recently, is a PhD Candidate in Educational Theory Organization and Policy at Rutgers University. His motivation to pursue a career in education sprung from the tremendous impact teachers and administrators in both his K-12 and college experience had on him. Oh, and like all other educators, Luke loves finding himself in a ‘learning environment’.
Most Memorable Moment: Giving his first lecture as a co-instructor in the Rutgers Ed.D. program was Luke’s most memorable moment. He described the opportunity to get to lead a discussion amongst such a diverse group of experienced educators who were excited to be there and committed to improving our educational system as a privilege and a moment he’ll never forget.
I was there – the passion and excitement for which Luke talks about education is nothing short of inspiring! Luke, my cohort and I are still waiting for Leadership III to hit WebReg…
Personal Learning Interests: Luke is currently engrossed in learning everything he can about the relationship of education to the economy, and in particular, consumer education. He’s also an avid gardener, so you can also find him trying to learn more about that and experimenting with new techniques.
The Fun Stuff
Luke’s go-to Karaoke Song: Not a big fan of karaoke, if he does find himself in front of the mic, Luke would opt for a Bruce Springsteen song.
Luke’s Inside Scoop: Luke is a whiskey connoisseur.
Luke, your heartfelt efforts to improve education each and every day you step foot into a classroom do not go unnoticed. On behalf of my cohort, I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the conversations you’ve facilitated in class and your commitment to supporting us in our endeavors along the way. Blessed to have had the pleasure of your tutelage twice during my program and the positive impact your ideas and instruction has had on my PLN! I truly appreciate all that you do to keep moving education forward.
Thanks for reading and sharing!
Bow-Tie Joe
