SUPA Spotlight: Rob Pusch

SUPA bids a heartfelt farewell to Dr. Rob Pusch, the founding head of our Research and Evaluation division. As the Senior Associate Director, Rob made notable contributions to SUPA. He supervised research and evaluation activities to ensure the continuous enhancement of our concurrent enrollment offerings.

Rob played a crucial role in supporting our instructors during the unexpected transition to online teaching due to Covid, sharing best practices for integrating technology into education and developing innovative instructional designs.

Additionally, he oversaw the creation and development of supplemental online instructional materials, including the flipped classroom model used in College Learning Strategies. Rob is now serving as an assistant professor in the Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation program at the Syracuse University School of Education.
