The Metropolitan State University of Denver faculty brain trust reaches almost every point on the academic spectrum, and we are always proud to see Roadrunners sharing their knowledge. Each month, the Early Bird highlights a few faculty members who have served as subject-matter experts on timely news topics, providing dynamic perspectives on critical issues. 

Here’s a sampling from April:

Scott Gladney, M.A., affiliate professor of Hotel Management, interviewed with Scripps National Media about changes being made within the hotel industry caused by the pandemic. 

Shannon Donnelly, B.S., affiliate professor of Cannabis in the School of Hospitality, interviewed with Scripps National Media about employees’ use of cannabis and the workforce policies that restrict off-the-clock use.  

Rosemarie Allen, Ed.D., associate professor of Early Childhood Education, interviewed with 9News about the history of Black women, their hair and the medical condition alopecia.  

Alex Padilla, Ph.D., professor of Economics, interviewed with CGTN America about how rideshare drivers are struggling with soaring gas prices.
