particularly Asian history and film and television criticism. I also enjoy hiking, nature walks, and camping. I have been teaching online courses in the undergraduate sphere since the summer of 2022, with film history, film theory, photography, design, creative writing, and multiple courses throughout the humanities composing my teaching expertise. I believe that every student comes with unique backgrounds, experiences, and learning styles, and therefore, I believe in tailoring my teaching methods to accommodate these individual differences, providing a supportive and inclusive environment where all students feel valued and empowered to participate. I am also a journalist, and I write for a wide portfolio of brands in both the entertainment and cultural spheres. I typically use the AP style in my everyday life, but it is also important to grasp other writing styles during one's collegiate career, which I always discuss with my students. I am very excited to begin my teaching journey within the wonderful ethos of UAGC! Richard Coleman | Department of Technology Studies
I serve as an Assistant Professor in the Master of Information Systems Management program. Previously, I was honored to serve as a U.S. Marine Corps Colonel among award-winning teams (of diverse cultural backgrounds and demographic groups) in global logistics/supply chain management, acquisition management, and recruiting. In 2012, I was recognized by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce with the Military Lifetime Achievement Award. I have 23 years of managerial leadership experience designing, developing, and integrating information systems. I specialized in continuously improving
operational effectiveness/efficiency through technological innovation of information systems. Additionally, I led the Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Cincinnati, OH, from being ranked last for 36 months to becoming an award-winning team recognized for recruiting excellence in two consecutive years. Since transitioning from the military, I have specialized in creating cultures of organizational excellence as a consultant in the private and public sector. I have instructed thousands of people in leadership development, performance management, and process improvement. In 2016, my passion for servant leadership was recognized by San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulkner and leadership expert Ken Blanchard on behalf of the San Diego Leadership Forum. In 2023, I earned a “ Leading Smart Cities with Trust ” certificate from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, which is applied to helping cities design information systems to improve service delivery. I earned a Master of Public Administration from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Marine Corps University with a Master of Science in military studies (strategic planning/analysis), earning a writing award for my published thesis, Recruiting the Strategic Corporal , which promoted diversity in Marine recruiting doctrine. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Ohio Wesleyan University with a double major in economic management and pre-law.
