Prior to joining Blinn College, Dr. Metcalf has taught a wide variety of courses at Abilene Christian University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, which include Public Speaking, Interpersonal Communication, Small Group Communication, Speech Practicum, Advanced Public Speaking, Speech Communication, Gender Communication, Conflict Management, and Conflict Analysis and Intervention.
