NICK SCHRECK, Assistant Professor of Digital Marketing, Midland University - Fremont, Nebraska
Get to know Nick through the following interview:
Which Stukent courseware and simulations have you used?
The Stukent Digital Marketing Simternship, the Social Media Marketing Simternship, and the Marketing Principles Simternship.
What tips would you share with other educators?
The best way to maximize Stukent is through the use of Simternships. Allowing students to learn about paid media, SEO, segmentation, and more through Stukent’s simulations has been an asset to their development as young professionals.
What are some of your hobbies and talents?
I love being around sporting events and performing arts activities. I'm an avid Runza enthusiast, and I've started collecting shoes and jerseys.
What are some of your career highlights?
These probably aren't very exciting, but I love getting invited to student weddings. I feel like the invitation symbolizes that I did a nice job of building a connection with that student; the fact that they want me to be there for their special day is something that never gets old.
Secondly, I am the PA announcer for some of our sports teams. I love announcing senior night — it's such a great way to honor students’ work on and off the court in a way that they're excited about. It's an honor to be a part of that moment.
Finally, my 3-year-old son attended Learn to Skate lessons led by some of my former students the other day. Seeing students I taught turn around and teach something to my son was such a special moment for me.
Where can we connect online?
I'm still on the Twitter bandwagon with @schrecknk, and you can find me on LinkedIn at nickschreck.
