Heidi Rahe (email me)
Assistant Professor in Communication
Degrees: Bachelor's degree in Communication and English, Concordia College; master's degree in Speech Communication, North Dakota State University.
Professor Rahe teaches courses in interpersonal, intercultural, and organizational communication, as well as public speaking, at SJC. She is also an instructor for Core 4, noting that she's "especially fascinated by the changes in society as it switched out of an oral society to become more and more literate between years 0 and 1600." She is also a familiar face at various College admissions events throughout the year. Why teaching? "I learn so much from my students," she answered. "[It's] a mutually beneficial arrangement." |
