Faculty Spotlight — Amy Arias

Amy Arias

Meet one of the University of Nevada, Reno’s outstanding Summer Session instructors

Amy Arias has been teaching courses for the University’s Department of Communication Studies since 2005. She earned a master’s degree in speech communication from the University of Nevada, Reno, where she has served as Wolf Pack Radio Club faculty advisor since 2008. In addition, she has been a teaching assistant mentor at the University and has volunteered as a public speaking coach for the Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year candidate since 2006. She has taught undergraduate Communication Studies courses at the University including Fundamentals of Communication, Health and Wellness in Communication, Interpersonal Communication and Public Speaking.

“The thing I enjoy most about teaching during Summer Session is that the schedule allows for greater relationship development. I get to know each student as a person and I have the opportunity to adapt the presentation of the course material to meet those individual needs, which enriches the learning experience not just for them, but for me as well.” — Amy Arias, M.A., adjunct faculty, Department of Communication Studies
