Matthew Ford

Adjunct Instructor - Social Sciences

Matthew Ford's time as an adjunct instructor began in 2021. When he is not teaching social science to Delaware Tech students, Ford works in the corporate communications field in Wilmington. Since beginning his position at the College during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ford has learned how to advance his communication skills through the initial challenge of teaching his students remotely. Ford's professional goals include advancing his career in public relations, furthering his education, and becoming a mentor to young people interested in entering the communications field.


Q: What is your favorite thing about working at Delaware Tech?

"Learning from the students. Each semester, I find I take away a different lesson from the classes I teach. I enjoy learning about the students, their perspectives, and what their interests are. I'm a firm believer that we can all teach one another something valuable from each other's life experiences."

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

"I was a student at Delaware Tech and I had some of the best instructors of my educational career here."

Q: What did you do before working at Delaware Tech?

"While working at Delaware Tech, I also work in corporate communications/public relations for a company in Wilmington."

Q: Describe your first day at Delaware Tech. What was that experience like?

"I was hired during the pandemic, so I have been teaching remotely since I started at Delaware Tech. However, I am eager to get to teach in the classroom soon. I'm very much looking forward to interacting with students face to face. One of the courses I teach is Human Communication, so human interaction is a big part of that."

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

"I feel like I have become a better communicator since starting at Delaware Tech. Especially teaching during the pandemic, I feel communication is more vital now than ever."

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

"I’m a big theater fan. Everything from Broadway to local theater productions and everything in between. I’ve even performed in a handful of shows in local theaters around the area. Aside from that I’m a news hound (see answer to question below for more on that!)"

Q: What's something people may not know about you?

"I'm a news anchor for a Delaware TV station. It's a great privilege to be able to deliver the news across our state to keep everyone informed and up to date on the happenings right here in the First State."

Q: What are your future goals?

"Personally, I'd like to travel more in the future. I hope to have kids one day. I'd also like to learn to love going to the gym (is that a goal? Ha ha!). Professionally, I would like to advance my career in public relations and become a mentor for young people who are looking to get started with a career in any form of communications. I'd also like to continue to further my education with an advanced degree."
