Joel Sierra
Joel Sierra joined Professional and Public Programs in Spring 2024, and has greatly enjoyed his experience. Sierra has been teaching for 33 years, the last 12 in adult education. His first stint with UTEP was teaching the Cisco Networking Academy Program in the early 2000s, but his experience then doesn't compare to the excitement he currently enjoys. The biggest difference is classroom size and student motivation, especially from international students.According to Sierra, teaching English as a second language can become quite a challenge, but when students grasp objectives like his current classes have, it cuts his work in half, while compounding the enjoyment. He encourages anyone who has the drive, desire and time to learn English to enroll in any of the many programs Professional and Public Programs has to offer. He says, "If you find education to be expensive, try the alternative, knowledge deprivation!"
