Will Reed - Faculty Spotlight
Will is an Assistant Teaching Professor who has gone above and beyond in and out of the classroom. Beginning his teaching career at BGSU in the summer of 2023, Will teaches courses such as MBA 6080, BA 4500, and MGMT 4060.
Upon starting at BGSU, Will was determined to use his prior experiences to assist students in navigating their academic journeys with ease. Regardless of the subject matter, Will's teaching consistently emphasizes the importance of respect and understanding diverse perspectives. He firmly believes that fostering such values is crucial for personal growth and development and that doing so makes everyone at BGSU better together.
Joseph Brown, a 2024 graduating senior had this to say about Reed’s impact as a professor:
"I want to recognize Professor Reed and let you know he is an AMAZING professor. Not only that, but he is a great role model for students as well. After taking his class I will take more from this experience than any other class. I believe he should be recognized. He sets the standard and sets the bar high for future professors at this university. I am proud to be graduating this semester as a falcon as it allowed me the opportunity to meet Professor Reed.”
