“Many schools offer theory in their education.
At Webster, we use theory followed up by specific
examples of application,” said Snyder who has been
with the school for 10 years and sees the Webster ap-
proach as a mentoring process. “In a regular college,
students move on after class is over. I interact with
my students after a Monday class for the rest of the
week over the phone or in chat rooms. That way they
are already prepared for the next class. After students
graduate, I generally remain close. It’s just the way
we approach things.”
Dr. Sharon Balcome has been a Mount Pleas-
ant resident for 30 years and an academic advisor
at Webster University for 19 years. She calls both
places home.
“I’ve found our progressive manner at Webster to
reflect the strong education system in Mount Pleas-
ant,” said Balcome, who appreciates the personal
relationship between staff and students at Webster.
“We get a lot of feedback about how personable and
friendly the instructors are, and, in turn, how this cre-
ates a stronger learning environment.”
