ӣƵ’s outstanding Faculty member for 2023 is 10-year employee and welding instructor Rickie Gunn.

Gunn started his career in welding education at Cotton Bowl Vo-tech. During his career, he has earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Agriculture from Arkansas State University.

He joined the BRTC faculty in August 2013. A student said,“He shows us how to do it, then lets us try on our own. If we mess up, we learn from the mistake and try again.” Gunn’s colleagues say,“he’s a team player and is always willing to help other departments with projects when needed.”

BRTC’s outstanding faculty member, outstanding staff member, and BRTC’s academic all-star student traveled to Hot Springs last week where they accepted awards at the Arkansas Community College Conference.
