Mohawk U.: Teaching students to say "Yeah, I get It."

More than anything, Williams says, he sees himself as an educator with a mission to make continuing education a staple of the floor business whether the student is a new hire or a seasoned pro. Teaching he says is a uniquely rewarding field.

"That is what draws me to this," says Williams, who assented to his position after working as an instructor at Mohawk U. for eight years. "When you take something you have learned and help someone else apply those principles, it is very rewarding. You can see it while you are teaching. The light comes on and the people in you class have that look that says `Yeah, I get it.' That is when you know you have done your job."
