Ronald West is a Former Senior Professor at DeVry University. Colleagues describe them as "Professor Ronald West did a great job as a professor at DeVry University in all the standard ways a professor could be great at providing instruction, however simply preforming the functions of his job is not where Ron West truly shines. Ron's main cap feather is undoubtedly his natural people skills. During my studies at DeVry it was made immediately and abundantly clear that Professor West was a trustworthy, down-to-earth and friendly person. Upon entering a room Professor West would actively deploy a pervasive kind and happy aura seemingly unintentionally. His ubiquitous presence was no work of witch craft it was simply the result of him caring about people wherever he went and leaving smiles on faces. The sort of context clues that even newborns could pick up on." and "Professor West was one of the single most positive influences for me to complete my Undergraduate studies and the spark for my decision to complete my Graduate degree. He was there not only for me but for any student that needed reinforcement of why education was necessary in everyday life. He never allowed for any of his students to give excuses but to take ownership of their success or failures. Although he would say he allowed for his students to make their own choices, in his own way he implored us to make the right ones. His lectures gave profound insight on human behavior and encompassed much more than Psychology, they touched on life in its entirety It gives me great honor to say that I was his student, mentored by him and I certainly will never forget what he meant to me as my Professor. Thank You Professor West"
