Stephen Ramocki
Academic Background
Stephen Ramocki holds a Ph. D. in managerial Economics with minors in marketing, behavioral science, and econometrics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He also possesses B.S and M.S. degrees in "Industrial Management" from Lowell Technological Institute and Clarkson College of Technology. He came to Rhode Island College in 1984 from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse where in addition to marketing he taught a wide range of courses in the business-related areas. Since 1984 he has taught primarily in the marketing areas. In 1993 he obtained a sabbatical at Yale University where he studied intensively the educational psychologists and their theories on intelligence and (especially) creativity. Since that time he remains convinced that in addition to imparting to students the concepts within a field, it is essential to teach and to emphasize the theories and tactics that will allow students to become more creative. Thus, in addition to teaching a course in creativity that he developed, he infuses creative thinking into most of his courses. Because improvements in creativity are not short run phenomena, he firmly believes that students who have been given instruction in creative thinking and behavior will carry long run advantages throughout their careers and lives.
