Dennis Yu in Higher Education: Verified College and Faculty Mentions
Thirteen public records show how universities, campus outlets, and university educators have described, assigned, or responded to Dennis Yu’s teaching. Every item links to the underlying source and states exactly what it does—and does not—prove.
The strongest evidence
These sources carry the clearest combination of independent ownership, specificity, and relevance to teaching or digital marketing.
Universidad de La Sabana
The university’s campus newsletter described Dennis as an “expert in measurement and marketing through Facebook” and documented his campus lecture.

Edition 1.139, February 2013. Translation from Spanish; it documents expertise and an appearance, not an endorsement of every BlitzMetrics claim.
Texas A&M University–San Antonio
The official Fall 2025 Social Media Marketing syllabus assigns an expert-session quiz featuring Dennis Yu and Logan Young.
This is direct curriculum-adoption evidence. It is not an evaluative testimonial or university validation of every statement in the assigned session.
Johns Hopkins University Odyssey
The official event archive names Dennis as instructor for “Applied Digital Marketing: Collaborations with Local Businesses,” a six-session virtual course from March 27 through May 1, 2025.

This verifies the instructor listing, course title, dates, and Zoom format. Johns Hopkins states that scheduling a speaker does not constitute endorsement.
Oklahoma Christian University
Eagle PR called Dennis one of the most in-demand experts in using Facebook advertising to increase organizational impact; The Talon documented his two-day student visit.
Eagle PR source · The Talon feature · OC affiliation
Both sources cover the same February 2020 visit and count as one proof cluster. Eagle PR and The Talon are student-run campus outlets, not the university administration.
Shepherd University professor Matthew Kushin
Kushin called Dennis a “true industry leader,” said his class left “energized and inspired,” and described BlitzMetrics as a wealth of educational tools.

A first-person 2015 teaching recap on Kushin’s professional site, updated in 2019. It is his opinion, not Shepherd University’s institutional position.
UniSC senior lecturer Karen Sutherland
Sutherland called Dennis a “highly knowledgeable” interviewee, included him among leading digital marketers in her textbook, and named him among her communication heroes or mentors in an independent interview.
2026 interview post · 2024 textbook post · 2019 independent interview · UniSC profile
Three records from one faculty author are grouped as one cluster. Sutherland discloses a friendship; her statements are personal views, not a UniSC endorsement.
Then-Stockton professor Ai Addyson-Zhang
In a 2018 first-person article, Addyson-Zhang called three days with Dennis and BlitzMetrics “life- and business-changing” and said he had “mastered his craft.”

Personal commentary, not Stockton University’s position. The faculty affiliation is historical and ended after this article.
Supporting academic mentions

| Academic context | Public record | What it supports | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| University of Louisville / Loyola University Chicago | Karen Freberg’s panel recap · faculty profile | Freberg described the Loyola panel with Dennis as a wonderful session with an excellent conversation. | A shared-panel reaction, not an individual or institutional endorsement. |
| University of Nebraska Omaha | Jeremy Lipschultz’s article · faculty profile | Lipschultz included Dennis among industry thought leaders informing what students learned about analytics. | An expert citation in a faculty article, not a testimonial. |
| SMU Cox School of Business | James Loomstein’s public comment · official faculty context | Loomstein recommends taking an opportunity to sit and learn from Dennis, saying the future version of the learner will be grateful. | The recommendation is a third-party comment on Dennis’s LinkedIn post; SMU’s page verifies Loomstein’s faculty role, not the recommendation. |
