Biography

Travis Brooks has been working with how management and technology impact the humanities and fine arts in higher education for over 14 years.  His career has encompassed every aspect of the higher education experience including being a student worker, a tutor, a technician, an administrator, and a member of the adjunct faculty.   This variety of experience has created a unique perspective on the education process. 

Travis spent 6 years managing the Media Services Department of Northeast State Community College, and was responsible for all classroom technology planning, purchasing, and installation for the college during this time.  This experience led to Travis spending 7 years as the Theatre Manager of the Wellmont Regional Center for the Performing Arts and 5 years as an adjunct professor.  At various points in his career he has managed a three-camera broadcast studio, a multimedia computer lab, a box office and campus-wide ticking system, three performing venues, and many other projects.  These positions required a focus on how management practices and technology intertwined with humanities and the fine arts, which allowed Travis to gain an understanding of how technical knowledge and management skills can provide pathways to success for students in the humanities and fine arts.
