Meet the Faculty and Staff

Jerry Kavanagh

Jerry Kavanagh is a instructor and program coordinator for the English department at the Wilmington campus of Delaware Tech. He has been working at the college since he completed graduate school. He feels that that Delaware Tech represents a community where students, professionals, and faculty work together for a common goal.


Q: Why was it important for you to work at Delaware Tech?

"I have such a great feeling when I see students whom I taught in their first year receive their degree. The country runs on students from community colleges, and I am proud of the small part I take in this process."

Q: What changes have you seen in yourself since you started working here?

"Well, I have learned a great deal in areas in which I thought I would never work. My field was literature and literary theory, yet I have become fluent in technical writing and rhet/comp."

Q: What hobbies or interests do you have outside of the College?

"I am an avid video game player. I like to read. I also enjoy time with my family. I especially liked taking my daughter to punk and hardcore shows before COVID."

Q: Do you have a favorite memory from your time at Delaware Tech thus far?

"Kim McFetridge, Alison Randall, and I worked to put together a TYCA-NE conference that the college hosted in 2017. The annual TYCA-NE is the preeminent regional conference for community college English teachers. It was a great honor and a wonderful experience to have the event hosted by DTCC."

Q: Do you have any future goals?

"Currently, I have been involved in several English redesigns, so I am excited about how the campuses are working together to develop a collegewide English curriculum that will embrace the best and promising practices in our field."
