Oral History Feature | Navila Castro

Navila Castro is a language arts professor. She received her Masters of Arts in Spanish from Appalachian State University then taught at App State for two years. We asked her what the transition from student to teacher was like:

"I’ve worked here at Appalachian State for two years I decided to work here because of classes I took and networking while being a student. I wouldn’t say work has changed, I’ve transitioned from student to instructor. It is so satisfying to read my evaluations, knowing that I did make a difference and my students did learn something because you need to be able to relate to your students and be accessible."
